Abstract | This chapter looks at the changes in technological culture through reflection on the author's personal journey and experience of technology from early manual methods through to increasing use of computers for photography, teaching, and learning. The implications of the multiplicity of changes and their impact on the active ageing are discussed along with the different types of reactions to changing technology. The chapter is very much designed to help new designers, as digital natives, realize the changes that the active ageing have lived through and how this needs to be taken into account with any textile-led designs for the active ageing. However, I also hope others, as either long-term active agers or like myself recently joining the active agers, can see how their journey mirrors or has had similar transitions, if in different workplaces or subject domains, to mine. |
