The aim of my project is to link Heidegger\u2019s essay The Question Concerning Technology to the changes of technology within football from the 1960s to the present day. <\/p>\n
From watching the 1966 World Cup Final, England vs. West Germany and the 2010 Tyne-Wear Derby, Newcastle United vs. Sunderland, and also with the use of some useful websites, I would be able to highlight the changes of technology within football. These are the six changes of technology within football which I have highlighted: <\/p>\n
1. Picture Quality\/Display
\n2. Replays
\n3. Capturing of the Game play\/Emotions
\n4. Football boots
\n5. The Football
\n6. Co-commentary\/Audio <\/p>\n
I will explain Heidegger\u2019s essay The Question Concerning Technology from his book The Questioning Concerning Technology, and relate the changes of technology within football to the relevant parts of his theory.<\/p>\n
A few examples of linking Heidegger\u2019s theory to the changes of technology within football <\/p>\n
–\tHeidegger talks about how modern technology reveals but also challenges, and I linked this to the development in the replays from the 1960s to today in the use of different camera angles which reveals more of what just happened, e.g. of a goal scored or challenging a decision made by the referee.
\n–\tHeidegger talks about how nature\u2019s energy has become a standing reserve and how nature is now a resource of technological exploitation. As well, we ourselves are situated in the standing reserve as human resources. I linked this to the development in camera angles in capturing more emotions in football today than in the 1960s, therefore making football more of a standing reserve. Why? More is revealed (captured) in the match for the television audience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
