Imagine having to phone that friend to congratulate them on their
new job - rather than posting a 'like' on their timeline. Or
imagine writing a letter, finding an envelope and a stamp, walking
to the letterbox and waiting a week for a reply - instead of firing
off an email. How quickly life changes. The communications
technologies that now permeate our every waking moment open up
endless possibilities: we can do things more quickly, we can do
things more efficiently, we can do more things. And yet there is a
down side - our time absorbed in social media and sifting through
shopping choices; a quarter of working hours spent in unproductive
online activity. And more sinister implications: loss of privacy,
anonymity, the undisclosed harvesting of personal details by
commercial and government organisations. Ultimately, the reality of
communications technologies is that either we will master them or
they will master us. In this incredibly helpful book, Guy Brandon
unpacks the practical and spiritual significance of our
technological choices and encourages us to use communications
technologies in a way that aligns with our faith and calling, and
makes us more faithful, more human and better at relating to one
another.
