Personal Digital Assistants (PDA)

the first step in the ethnographic journey, helping them reach their
destination to conduct interviews and observations.
Laptop Computer
The laptop computer is a significant improvement over pen and notepad.
Laptop computers are truly portable computers for use in the office, on a
plane, or in the field.
Cameras

the anthropologist to create a photographic record of specific behaviours.
Camcorders
They provide the observer with the ability to stop time.
