The Lawn Chair
The lawn chair is the best technological invention that benefits society. It perfects the art of leisure. It creates a new generation of relaxing furniture for your favorite sporting event or family gathering. It also creates a portable, comfy way to enjoy all your favorite activities. Whether you’re at a lake house, the beach, or your kids soccer game, you can cheaply enjoy your time spent by bringing your own lawn chair. The lawn chair not only supplies you with a new, portable advancement in leisure, but also a way to enjoy any location you’re presently in. A lawn chair provides society with leisure on the go. Although I can not pin-point a time that these chairs were introduced into our society, they have helped to ease stress and promote socialization in the past 20 years.
Leisure is what you choose to do with your free time. Whether you live close to a beach, lake, or park, you always have an option to spend your leisure time outdoors. Before the invention of a lawn chair people spending their weekends at beaches would have the hassle of sandy towels, shorts and drinks. The invention of the lawn chair promotes relaxation at the beach to it’s fullest. Later in the lawn chair time line there will be less worries about sandy shorts and drinks with the innovation of built-in cup holders. These comforts would imply the enjoyment of nature more than if nature was viewed in uncomfortable terms. In short, the lawn chair provides society with an easy way to enjoy nature without having the evidence stained on their clothing.
When portable lawn chairs first came out, they were designed as cheap lawn furniture for folks that didn’t have much money to spend on more fancy outdoor furnishings. Lawn chairs were later constructed to not just extend furniture into their lawns, but to bring furniture to other events like tailgating parties or enjoying the sunset at the end of a dock. Lawn chairs became completely portable, and easy to maintain as well. The old plastic ones would be known to sore the body, or become to hot under the summer sun. Cloth ones were later created to ease comfort and create a fabric that could be sturdy and easily washed. The portable lawn chair provided nature lovers a whole new prospective on Mother Earth. They could take this comfortable chair with them to any event. It was cheap, portable, and not a hassle to carry around. The invention of the lawn chair stimulated humans to enjoy their roots as natural beings.
They say you’re suppose to have ten minutes of sun everyday and if you’re sitting in your house and notice it’s a beautiful day outside, what would be the best way to enjoy it? Sure you could go for a walk, or a bike ride. But there’s nothing wrong with sitting under a big tree in a park, or your yard, and reading a good book. Even sitting outside listening to some music would be more productive then melting your brain with television. An easy solution to a rough week, could always be sitting in a lawn chair, enjoying your surroundings. It eliminates the excuse to not go out and enjoy the day. With the possession of the lawn chair, society has the opportunity to be enlightened by nature in their own backyard, or where ever their travel takes them.
Without the invention of the lawn chair, I feel humanity would spend less time out side enjoying themselves, and more time indoors, away from the beauty of nature. Lawn chairs make social gatherings at the beach, sports games and picnics more prominent in our culture. Nature wasn’t meant for enjoying uncomfortably. If you just want to get out of the house, enjoy a drink with your buddies at a tailgate, lawn chairs will always be available for you. And whether or not you agree, a lawn chair is also one of the more creative inspirations for flight technologies.
