Technology in danger of colonising our sporting lives

It is commonplace now to note the ubiquity of the smartphone in everyday life, says Paul Rouse. 

There is no aspect of the modern world that has not been reshaped — in whole or in part — by the revolution taking place all around us.

Whether you lament the way the smartphone has changed the way people relate to each other, or whether you celebrate the possibilities created by their apparently boundless capabilities, there can be no denying the transformation that is being wrought on our social life.
