Abstract: Technology is becoming equated solely with the machine. Technology presupposes values, and the new values have become rationality and efficiency. We are surrounded by devices that have lessened our daily burdens, but the "burden" can be engaging. Traditional outdoor practices engage us fully and can re-inspire the latent spiritual impulse to relate with the land. (TD)
