ABSTRACT
Technologies have not only had their place in the mobile communities of bargees, circus, and fairground people throughout the history of the existence of those communities but they are also integral and imperative to their operations. From the high wire to the Ferris wheel, the dodgem cars to the barges there would be little remaining in these communities if technologies were removed. Equally important are the ways that personnel and clients interact with and through those technologies. This chapter explores these themes in a way that also shows connections with lifelong learning and how members of these communities seek to guarantee their continued relevance to the outside community and the ongoing existence of their operations.
