The changes in technology will transform the leisure office of tomorrow. People will be operating from remote locations via e-mail and modem. Much of the work as we know it today will be done off-site. Contractual work may become the norm in parks, business, and recreation. Competition and participation with the private sector will be at its pinnacle.
American civilization wants leisure opportunities.
And thus, we bring you tomorrow's customer. This may mean that our recreational offerings become ongoing rather than seasonal. Some colleges are already experimenting with classes that students may enter at any point in a semester. As the baby-boomers become seniors, they will not be content to go to the neighborhood senior center and do the same activities as a group of other seniors. Many will want to play actively in sport while others will be content to participate in traditional older adult leisure programs.
