When we consider technological developments, we are generally talking about the advances and modifications to clothing and equipment that can improve our experience in some way. This could be through technology making an activity safer, improving our access or even making it possible in the first place!
Technological changes to clothing and equipment have increased the range of possibilities and even enhanced participation in the ways we experience outdoor environments. Technologies have made experiences easier and safer, and have improved our access to them. There is argument that increased use of, and even reliance on, technology is further disconnecting people and the environment. This ranges from people seeing challenging activities being made too easy, allowing them to rely to heavily on devices that can fail in the outdoors. This topic explores how technology influences how we experience outdoor environments. |
