As I sit outside today, I am reminded that people can have a whole lot of infulences. For example, when it comes to music, we usually get our in part from our parents, another part the media, and yet another part our friends (neat article about that here).But being that tech is so new, where do parents, administrators, church leaders look for direction? While it is true that the youth are usually the most skilled, they are not always the most wise. And even beyond giving wisdom, who gives understanding to tgose who wish to use tech to excell or advance their communities?
I personally feel that this leading/leaning can be found by careful examination of Scripture and attention to tech trends. Parents should be leaders in some respets (Palmsolo gives his daughter a Sidekick 3 but also has her use it innovatively) and guiders in every respect. While no one person can get it all, and there isn't time to either, administrators and churxh leaders can become resource persons for specifuc applications of tech (for example, a worship leader uses iTunes to share worship songs just sung with the congreation).
I look ahead to the days when tech will be understood and the Body leads its function to God's glory. Sure, its lofty, but what do you expect to come out of the mind of a guy who just thumbed out a whole post ;-)
