Abstract
Ian Ramsey writes that while technology can make adventurers safer, it also corrupts people’s direct experience and attention; and how ten middle schoolers gradually disengage from technology in the New Hampshire mountains. Douglas Balmain has remained loyal to map and compass, so he finds it disorienting when a companion navigates using an app.
