'Playing with Technology' is quite a young research topic within ICOHTEC, having been launched at ICOHTEC's 2007 symposium in Copenhagen. The goal was, and still is, to investigate mutual influences of technology and play, as well as the societal impact of this large field of technology. The history of technology has focused on the relation of technology and work and its positive and negative outcomes for many decades. The presentation and application of technology for playing offers new perspectives on human/technology relations. This essay introduces the subject with examples from technology—based fairground amusements, technical toys and sports in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It analyses ICOHTEC's contribution to the scientific development of the topic, and also develops perspectives for future research.
