      Older footballs were inflated pig bladders inside leather. Nowadays they’re rubber or plastic. So plastic technology has changed the way footballs are made!

      Oh yes!

      The 2010 world cup football – the Adidas Jabulani for example was specially designed to increase its aerodynamics, which made quite a difference in the games!

      Yep – everything we make, we make with technology of some sort. This is part of the definition of technology. As technology has changed, it’s changed how we make everything, from footballs to cars to buildings and food!
