Document Summary

Favourite or least favourite quotation (and page number): One example we can explore more in depth to illustrate the legacy of science and the military for leisure technology is the sport of geocaching. Geocaching is an outdoor treasure hunt for gps (global positioning system) users. The basic idea is individuals and organizations set up caches and then share the locations of these caches on the internet. (pg. 130) In this chapter, we discuss four ways that leisure and technology are intertwined, demonstrating how each transforms the other. Then, we debate both the positive and negative issues surrounding technology"s impact on our leisure. (pg. 130) Leisure and technology have become so intertwined that each has transformed the other. (pg. 127) Technology has enhanced traditional pastimes and invented completely new ones, and in turn, leisure itself has inspired other technological developments. (pg. 127) Most likely the leisure-technology companionship is both good and bad. (pg. 127)
