tactile, hands-on experience and the more exclusively mental aspects of using
a software program?
I ask this because my stuff is almost entirely hands-on, very nearly
antithetical to technology. Merits of using technology are clear, even to a
hands-on person like myself. What would be really nice is to integrate them.
If virtual reality would not provide this, perhaps having a real-world,
hands-on counterpart to educational software would allow technology to play
its role while keeping the user grounded in the senses. What I'm suggesting is
that using technology sets up a mind-body dichotomy where in large part the
body is left out, i.e., many of the parts of our experience that are felt and
perceived in a multitude of ways are left out when using technology.
