WELCOME TO THE “WEISURE” LIFESTYLE
 The line dividing work and leisure time is blurring before our eyes, says one expert, and a phenomenon called 'weisure time' is being created. Many people who haven't already given up the nine-to-five working day for the twenty-four seven life of weisure will probably do so soon, according to sociologist Dalton Conley, who coined the term. According to Conley, it is no longer clear what is work and what is fun in an office, at home or out in the street and it is becoming increasingly difficult to say whether activities and social spaces are more connected to work or play.
 These worlds that were once very distinct are now merging. Conley uses the 1950s as a point of reference. 'Back then, there were certain rules,' he says, 'such as "don't do business with friends", and "keep work and leisure separate". That has completely changed.' However, there are limits: the merging of work and leisure does not mean, for example, that bankers are working on complex financial matters during their children's parties. But it does mean that more and more people are using smartphones and other new technology to contact business colleagues while they are with their families or to chat with Facebook friends during an office meeting . So, what happened and why do people want to mix work and play? First of all, according to Conley, there's more work and less play than there was in the past. 'For the first time in history, the higher up the economic ladder you go, the more likely you are to have an extremely long working week,' he says. Busy people often want to save time by being involved in business and pleasure simultaneously. Obviously, many opportunities for that are offered by the Internet.
 At the same time, Conley says, people are more willing to let work invade their leisure time because, for many, work has become fun. Conley refers to professionals who get more enjoyment out of work as 'the creative class' because their work involves ideas, perhaps helping create a new software product or an advertising campaign. This makes their job interesting and fun; they enjoy their work and so choose to spend much of their time working. Conley points out that it is no coincidence that weisure has been growing with the popularity of personal computers.
 Many professionals have the more boring parts of their jobs done by computers, making many of their jobs more interesting. Weisure has been fed by social networking sites, where 'friends' may actually be business partners or colleagues. 'Social networking is a strange activity,' Conley says. 'It's fun, but also an essential part of our knowledge-based society.' Networking sites give us many ways of doing business and having fun.
 Although there are clear benefits, what is disturbing is the idea that we will be changed by weisure. 'We are losing our so-called private life,' Conley says. 'There's less time to relax if we're always mixing work and leisure.' But, if you're thinking that a backlash may be around the corner for the weisure concept, you ' re right. In fact, according to Conley, it has already begun. It is evident in the rise of alternative social movements involving people 'who live in a more environmentally conscious way,' he says. But, he believes that unless we are sent back to the Stone Age by a natural disaster of some kind, there's no turning back the clock on the spread of weisure.

DISTANT SPACE TRAVEL BETTER AS FAMILY AFFAIR
 Forget the kind of macho astronauts you are used to seeing in science fiction films and television programmes - space travel to faraway solar systems will probably be a family affair conducted by married couples, their kids and generations to come,' according to US anthropologist, John Moore. 'The family has the kind of natural organization and motivation to deal with the tensions which are likely to characterize space trips of 200 years or longer to settle remote planets,' says John Moore. 'We are less likely to go crazy in space and more likely to accomplish our missions if we send crews into space that are organized along family lines. With clear lines of authority bet ween parent and child as well as older and younger siblings, families provide a division of labour that can accomplish any kind of work,' says Moore. More importantly, they offer the rewards of getting married and having children.
 'Whenever colonization is done on Earth, it is always by people looking for a better life All of the colonizations that I know about have been done by families, especially young couples.' In the past, astronauts had to be specially trained and physically very fit to survive in very small space capsules, but spacecraft size is no longer the constraint it was, making it possible to take ordinary people such as midwives, electricians and cleaners. For a space crew that is going to colonize space and reproduce for many generations, these kinds of people will be just as important as space technologists.
 Starting with a population of childless married couples also works best on board a spaceship because it will give the initial crew a few years to adjust to their new surroundings, without the distraction and responsibility of taking care of children. People may be horrified at the idea that children will be living and dying in space, with their only images of Earth coming from pictures and videos. But, says John Moore, parents have always made choices affecting the course of their children's lives. "We change jobs, we move to another town, we go abroad to find work. If we educate our space kids properly, Ithink one day they might say, "Gosh, I'm sure glad I'm on this spaceship and not back on dirty old Earth."
 According to Moore, a starting population of 150 to 180 would best sustain itself at the same rate over six to eight generations Every person would have the opportunity to be married - with a choice of at least ten possible spouses within three years of their age - and to be a parent. Ideally, the group should share social and cultural values. "Having some people accustomed to monogamy and others to plural marriages would create some confusion when it becomes time for the sons and daughters of the first generation to marry," says Moore. "Designing morals for people on such a fantastic voyage is problematic because people on Earth would have little influence once the crew was on its own. If the space crew decided on a system of slavery for some and privilege for others, there is little the planners on Earth would be able to do to prevent it."
 Thinking about these issues is not as far-fetched as you might hink. Experts predict that such a space mission will take place within the next hundred years.
