Jugaad or approaches to creating technology --- I agree with this idea of technology, and want to draw a parallel to the concept of 'jugaad', a Hindi word but used colloquially all over India to refer to innovative approaches to solving everyday problems using limited resources - the outputs are often what we might recognise as 'technology' by this definition but not necessarily digital gadgets - for instance, use of makeshift wooden baskets by gig economy workers in India to fit on their bikes for easy deliveries.
