John Dyer‘s recent presentation on “Technology is Not Neutral” at BibleTech:2009 is something that everyone should chew on for a bit.
A far-distant and often-forgotten result of our ever-increasing use of technology is the impact that occurs in our lives, sometimes instanteneously and sometimes over a long period of time. Generally speaking, we only begin to notice the issues and/or problems that have cropped up afer the damage has already been done.
I do not necessarily agree with everything that Dyer presents but the fact that I’ve reacted in the past toward some of these ideas is almost an indication in and of itself of something worth having a conversation over.
I’d give it a one over. I think the best way to really dissect Dyer’s presentation is to actually share it with someone else and talk about it. I think you’ll find it to be very valuable; I know I did.

Take this presentation, listen to it, share it with someone you trust, and then schedule a coffee meet up. It’ll do you some good.
Thanks John.

John, thanks for listening and posting 🙂
I sure need help thinking about this stuff, so I appreciate you sharing it and encouraging others to talk together about it all. It's always better in fellowship! Any feedback, good or bad is much appreciated.
