The development of technology has improved the level of social productivity,saved labor time and provided space for the leisure of the whole people,the importance of leisure has gradually highlighted.On the face of it,social life is becoming more diversified,and people’s ways of allocating and spending time are becoming more diverse and complex,leading rich and healthy lives.But in fact,the accelerated operation of capital promotes the accelerated development of technology.People feel weightless about time in the accelerated society,and lose the control of "leisure" on both the concept and practice level,so they are forced to live a contradictory life of busyness and nothingness.The prevailing spiritual crisis in contemporary society has caused many social problems,and leisure,which should be used for personal development,has been alienated.People have the following perplexities: why the faster the development of technology,the less time,the less leisure,the more empty people’s spirit,and how to solve this problem.Therefore,as a new vision,the change of leisure after technology intervention needs to be studied and analyzed by more people.In Marx’s vision,free time is a direct synonym for leisure and an important reference for the study of modern leisure.Therefore,this paper will define leisure and leisure alienation based on Marx’s free time theory,and examine leisure at the technical level.In Marx’s time,the worker’s free time,leisure,was already suffering from alienation,but it was a alienation that could be felt and that could arouse the worker’s vigilance.With the rapid development of technology in modern times,leisure alienation has become more profound and hidden,so it is necessary to explore what kind of alienation will occur in leisure under the condition of technology acceleration based on the reasonable content of the technology acceleration theory of contemporary scholar Rosa.However,Rosa’s analysis of the disease of modern society did not go out of the narrow vision of the bourgeoisie,so the study of the root of leisure alienation and sublation path still needs to be supplemented and corrected by the Marxist theory of free time.In the acceleration of capitalist private ownership dominated world,technology proliferation acceleration in capital and liable to pursue this logic urging,changed the way of leisure and conditions,a vulgar,leisure culture is human subjectivity in leisure is reduced,which in thecase of involuntary to unnatural leisure,the overall development of individuals.This is the whole process of leisure alienation caused by technology acceleration.Want to leisure liberated from alienation,must be guided by the marxist theory of free time,combined with China’s specific national conditions,from a technical,production,distribution,and four aspects of leisure education,to meet the material needs and promote the spirit of education for double assurance,return the time belongs to the individual to each individual,enable the human to become active in the "free time" the main body,Realize the value of life and the meaning of existence,realize people’s needs for a better life.
