Mobile Trends for the Next 10yrs (incl. The Mobile Church) #m2020

Mobile Trends 2020

Here are my five (as posted on Twitter a few days ago). Items are posted with a link to the associated tweet so that you could either respond here or there.

Mobile will be the primary avenue for telling the church's story over the next 10yrs (tweet)
Mobile increases the church's need to have cross-functional knowledge of culture and context (tweet)
Censorship and copyright will drive mobile sharing of religious texts to innovative solutions (tweet)
Mobile will be vilified by a significant generation of traditionally-minded church and lay leaders (tweet)
Education + genuine faith + mobile = education and community redefined (L. Amer India, & Africa)(tweet)

Ok folks, given the several trends spoken, as well as the MMM-5, do you have any thoughts on these - especially in terms of what you are seeing in the places you are in. Remember, one of the characteristics of mobile is that its personal and hyper-local. Where is this media going, and how do we steer it within the context of it intersection with faith? Because what we experience as tech in the Body, will not be the same experience of those considered youth now.

*The hashtag in the title is deliberate as I'd like to see this link automatically when this posts to Twitter.
