Thanks for your well-measured words. :) "Technology has and will cause the greatest crises of our generation. But it also has and will provide the greatest opportunities that any generation has ever faced for communicating truth to the entire world." Absolutely right! And I'm delighted to see you (and many others) rising up and taking initiative to do exactly that. Excellent! Thanks for your well-measured words. :)

I especially appreciated you pointing out that it isn't the technology that's bad, just our improper use of it. As for myself, I have found movie watching to be my most convicting area, and it was pretty much a gift from the Lord when the DVD player ion my laptop broke! =P Every time I watched a movie I could hear a voice inside my head saying "If you would have spent FIVE MINUTES of those last two hours in prayer instead of being merely entertained, it would have been worth infinitely more. It would have made a difference for eternity." Thanks for the well-balanced series! Great post!

Gives much to ponder. Thanks for a great series of posts. Connecting multitasking with self control and lack of vision is quite an insight! Gives much to ponder. Thanks for a great series of posts.

I especially like point number two. One thing I've always been taught, is that for everything you say "yes" to, there's a corresponding "no". What are we missing (a.k.a not doing) by spreading ourselves too thin. God bless bro! Wonderfully put Brett. I especially like point number two.

I started backwards and read the third one first. But then I decided to start from the beginning and go from there.

I really appreciate your emphasis on the heart of the issue--that Christ's glory is our ultimate goal. I also agree that there is a balance. Multitasking is not evil in itself and while the ability to multitask actually happens to be one of God's gifts to man, I think it is more specifically one of God's gifts to <i>women.</i> By nature men tend to be more specifically focused in a particular direction, while part of the nature of women is to have a greater variety in objectives. To clarify, I'll give an example: A mother is often required to do things like monitor several loads of laundry while mixing the bread dough and feeding a baby (not to mention taking a phone call now and then)--and she thinks nothing of it. These are the kinds of multitasking that are good and necessary for a greater goal: being a wife and mother. The important question is, "is this going to help me complete the job before me with excellence and to God's glory or will it hinder me?"

I have been having all sorts of feelings about technology lately, but these closing thoughts have helped me sort them out and get back on the right track. I just found this website and it's one I'll be sharing with my friends! What a series!
