Does today's technology and media have anything to do with the unfolding story of God we find in the Bible? Is technology an inevitable culture-shaping force, a neutral tool (to be used for good or evil), or something else completely?
From medical technology to mobile apps, technology can solve problems, connect people, and stimulate the economy. But technology can also distract, isolate, and have unintended negative consequences. This panel discussed the role technology should (and shouldn’t) play in building healthy relationships and communities through our work.
What if you knew with absolute certainty that twenty years from today every person in the world would be carrying or wearing 24/7 a smart device (phone, watch, glasses, etc.)? How would that influence your missional engagement strategy around your church, community and world? Eric Swanson, Leadership Community Director at Leadership Network, gave a brief presentation on the history of technology and its implications for evangelism and discipleship today.
