Resisting Attention to the Web/Tech

One of those things very easy to fall into when you have gotten online (email, blogs, etc.) is developing a personality aspect where you live for the attention you get online rather than just letting those web/tech things be a matter of fruitfulness.

I read an article at Lifehacker that pointed to a negative aspect of being unsearchable @ Google. While we can all agree that being searchable is a good thing. Making that attention-grabbing/getting as a reason to be online is unhealthy.

One recent tech consultation spoke to a parent on how understanding the web and what it does to our ego is key to understanding both the dangers and benefits of tech. Anytime it becomes less about God and productivity and more about us, we have made the tech an idol and it needs to be cast down.

Let your legacy online ALSO speak towards being Christ like.
