Today, it seems a foregone conclusion that mobile (and what mobile connects you to) disrupts life. But, before mobile became something easy to see, you can imagine the fun we had in talking about its disruption. If only we had Naked Pastor’s list back then:
- de-stabilize
- de-nationalize
- de-centralize
- de-culturize
- de-colonize
- de-religiousize
- de-textualize
- de-intellectualize
- de-theologize
- de-spiritualize
Check out Naked Pastor’s post for the definition of these ideas. And then consider this:
every change in communications technologies has also reset the actualities and expectations of the relationships we have towards one another and the industries that broker our relationships
Mobile is more than just a channel. It a reseting of the description(s) of realities that are relevant.
