Wow, has technology ever changed our world! In more ways than I think we'll ever know. For example, my wife and I have not entered a single store to do Christmas shopping. Every single bit of it was done online. Today, through email and shared websites, I have been working with someone from Winnipeg to order clothing for our student body to purchase. After supper today my brother and I "Facetimed" while my wife and her brother were on Facetime. Our girls were watching a movie that we had on PVR at the same time. Later on, I practiced my guitar, using an online program to get music (notation) to follow. Now, I'm sitting at my laptop blogging. Maybe my family is too dependent on technology (my wife made supper using a recipe that she found on cooks.com).
Could I last 1 week without technology? Could I...
Great reflective posts, Grant.
ReplyDeleteHumans have always been dependent upon the technology we have developed. Lots of parallels exist like when we switched to utility electricity or to the automobile or even further back, the profound change in society with the first information revolution with the invention of the printing press.
I suspect that we must treat new web-based technology with the same approach, I call it welcoming skepticism?
