Mobile Ministry Magazine

One of the more interesting things about this time of technology is that there are still many different uses being considered and thrown away as we become more knowledagable within this mobile world. This is not at all surprising to some, but for the general populace, to see what is and what can be done via mobile technology is like a sci-fi show come to life. And in many cases, that realization can spark innovations and dreams all that much further.

For example, consider what is happening in Barcelona now with mobile tech (via M-Trends). Their city council is taking the high penetraion of mobile phones and mobile data connections (SMS and Internet) and making available services that are great for the short term needs of the government, but can have longer reaching effects for the people who use it and know that it is available.

Or consider services such as Zinadoo (org. posted at PocketPC Thoughts) that are enabling people to create the usable mobile web right in front of them on whatever device.

You see, its not so much that we want to stem the tied of using mobile tech. We want to use it responsibliy, and even more than that, effectively and within the context of being a lighthouse. We do that though by knowing the trends, and then getting them inline with God's heart for his people, the hope of an eternal trend - His love.
