Opportunities for Mobile Use
A lot of times here at MMM, we talk about those ways in which you can use a mobile device, whether that is a smarpthone, PDA, or laptop, to improve your productivity, or to engage people and communities in ways that lend to you having more face time (and not more electronic time). This is good, but in thinking about these opportunities, one has to also consider the possible changes that can happen when you do enable people to literally "live" outside the box of normal commuicative practices.
What are the changes that "going mobile" can allow? For instance, where it was once an issue of having a print Bible, things became downloading and storing the Bible on your device. Now, we are at the point where you can literally just go online and look up a verse.
Or, you have instances where you want to send a message out, and instead of people having to call a switchboard system, a text message blast can be sent that will notify people of a change in meeting places or times.
In later posts and articles, members of the MMM team will be talking about how recent decsions to "go mobile" have changed their approach to computing, and how they view the possibilites of ministry now that they are not confined to a box if you will. What we'd like to know from you is what has opportunities have happened as a result of you going mobile? Or, where do you see yourself having a Christ-like effect on your communties and family if you do go mobile?
What does a mobile lifestyle look like? And how can that lifestyle emulate one that lives and breathes Christ?
