“Be ye not conformed to the world”— Digital and Otherwise

What technology is, and what our relationship to it is or ought to be is more than a dissertation-length topic. It’s a life-long topic, and one that will be answered — only partially — by the very wise. That being said, I believe it’s fairly obvious that the past seventy years, and even more so the past twenty years, have seen a rise and advancement of technology quite different in effect from anything present in previous ages. My purpose here is not just to put down phones (in both senses). My point is that we must acknowledge the effects of a technology — phones first, but also cars, pencils, razors, aspirin, and so on — if we are to retain our dignified place as agents over those effects, the ones who control rather than the ones who are controlled.

Enjoy being a Non-conformist. Discovered at age 50 that I enjoy dancing to Live Music. Public night at the American Legio w a particualr band is my Fav. Haven't tried it other places yet, BUT PLAN TO. Wow... BEST feeling to DANCE right in front of a live band of talented musicians, who u want to support. When they started playning Elivis "Don't be Cruel" I got up and 2 other Ladies I didn't know joined me!! No one is going to roll out the red carpet, except God, to give you permission to Enjoy LIFE. Anyway... Thanks and Love whatv r Sharing even tho very different from my own Reality. Intriguing!!! Wow, what a son u have, Peter!
