Which technology would that be? Skipping ropes? Low tech but tech all the same. And likewise for trampolines and flippers, which help propel you through the air and the water respectively. There's nothing inherent in technology that makes people lazy. I guess the proposition is that modern digital technology is a bad idea, but that just isn't the case. People are using Fitbit to measure just how much exercise they're doing, and there are apps which runners use that motivate them to keep running through involving them with stories that they listen to on earphones. There's more to come. The Pokemon Go game that had people worldwide chasing outdoors to collect imaginary creatures is just the opening move - there'll be more and more opportunities to utilise technology in the context of fitness, and doing so using what we know about computer games already will make it easier to motivate the lazier of us to get up and move. We already rock out with pretend musical instruments and get awarded points for dancing by a computer - the future promises more along those lines.
