An inter-generational audio documentary exploration of technology's impact on women's lives.

Un documentaire audio sur l'impact de la technologie dans la vie des femmes à travers les générations.


Erica Taddeo and Fathiya Wais collaborated to create this audio documentary between January and May of 2005, with little experience in the audio domain. Ayant peu d'expériences dans le domaine audio, Erica et Fathiya ont travaillé sur ce documentaire extraordinaire pendant 4mois.
Erica was in her last semester of college, studying cinema and communications, at the time of the project. She is moving on to university, working towards a BA in Communication Studies. Erica vient de finir son dernier semestre au collège. Bientôt, elle va étudier à l'université en communication.
Fathiya studies in sociology and she loves music. Fathiya a étudié en sociologie et elle aime beaucoup la musique.



How do YOU define technology? Comment Définir la technologie?
Is it simply something electronic that connects you to the world? Est-ce-que la technologie est une "nouvelle" invention?
Or does the word "technology" really imply all of the useful inventions that have been created throughout history? Est-ce-que le mot technologie comprend toutes les inventions à travers l'histoire?

“ Rose Jetté ”

Rose Jetté is a francophone women from Cochrane, Ontario. She was one of the first women in Ontario to drive a school bus, which she did for eighteen years. She has been working in different domains since girlhood and even today at 82 enjoys home renovation projects, gardening, cooking, and spending time with her family.
We had the pleasure of asking her about her fascinating life and the role that technology (automotive, culinary, and home renovation) has had in her life.

Rose Jetté est née à Cochrane en Ontario. C'était une des première femmes à conduire un autobus scolaire dans le nord. Dans ce documentaire elle nous explique l'impact de la technologie dans sa vie. Nous voulons remercier Rose Jetté de nous avoir accorder cette entrevue.
