Morrison, inventor of the Frisbee died recently. It is truly amazing how such a simple object has become ingrained in our lives. The idea of flying is something that mankind has always been fascinated by, from the myth of Icarus to Da Vinci's flying machines and the Wright Brothers we have tried to defeat the grip of gravity. With the fear of over analysing, I feel in some way by setting a Frisbee in flight, we feel lighter, time shifts slightly, as we are fascinated by this mysterious thing, and i think this why it is so iconic. There is no way that Morrison would ever have dreamt that when he was chucking cake tins around some sixty years ago the phenomenon would exist. There is almost no design involved, it could not be simpler, it is the interaction of, and effect on humans that make it what it is.
