There is an article at CNN today takling about our increasingly wireless world and the ability to NOT disconnect from it for social and spiritual development. I think that this article does raise an important observation, especially for the Christian who is trying to find balance between this technological time, and time with the Father.

As with any new tecnological paradigm, there is always a time of upward use, and little time to balance. As the technology matures, we then see technology taking its rightful place, and many times getting to that place where it is handled in balance (becomes successfully unnoticeable while also profitable). I believe that as Christians who have this connection/technology availiable to us, that we have to be ones who spearhead this movement to not only understand the technolgy, but show the correct balance between it and our lives away from the tech. Whether that means maintaining budgeted hours online, or doing homework sufficiently before purchasing the next tool, we have to become skillful in this arena if it too can be a light by which God can (and should) show His redemptive glory to the world.
