The Games were full of contrasts. From a sporting perspective, the gentle gracefulness that I observed at the figure skating was offset by the full-on brutality of ice hockey brawls, while the delicate precision of curling was juxtaposed by the frantic chaos of short-track speed skating. From a geographical and cultural perspective, Livigno, which is perched high up in the Alps close to Switzerland, seemed like a giant playground for modern snow sports – geared towards those who like to twist and twirl high in the sky – while Cortina, in the Dolomites, was far more old-fashioned and populated by the traditional skiing establishment. Milan, meanwhile, featured a cluster of modernist, edge-of-town arenas, with international fans happily catching the metro to and from the events. But, in my experience, transportation wasn’t always so convenient. The huge amount of travelling between venues – I went to all but one – was exhausting and getting a late night bus over the mountains between Livigno and Bormio in a blizzard felt a bit hairy.

This sort of thing is why I think historians need to be more active in technical discussions and decision-making about emerging technology. Everything about our current world is different from the premodern world that our ancestors inhabited. The past truly is a foreign country. But we carry fragments of that foreign world with us in our physical selves, in the gestures and other implicit knowledge we teach our kids. We take it for granted that there are aspects of being human which are never written down and which are unknowable unless you experience them.
