Comments on: The “Please, Someone Notice Me!” Generation—More Thoughts http://ceruleansanctum.com/2008/09/the-please-someone-notice-me-generation-more-thoughts.html Looking for the 1st century Church in 21st century America Tue, 22 May 2012 03:53:34 +0000 hourly 1 By: Davidhttp://ceruleansanctum.com/2008/09/the-please-someone-notice-me-generation-more-thoughts.html#comment-41324 David Wed, 10 Sep 2008 18:23:58 +0000 http://ceruleansanctum.com/?p=1000#comment-41324 Again, though, it's not the tech itself, but how it is used or abused. While the choices are sometimes made for us, only humans make choices. But it leads to an interesting thought: How long until the choices made for us lead to do-or-die decisions on the part of Christians? At what point on this slippery slope do we cast aside our souls in our grab for the iPhone? Whatever our view of industrialism, it was rooted in the desire for things of this world, not the one to come. The same can be said of our embrace of technology.

Tech does allow one to voice their opinions anonymously instead of what the Bible tells us, which is if you have a problem with someone you are to go to that person and work it out(paraphrased). Face to face. Online bullying is an ever growing problem. This is a con of social networking sites. Adam I would have to agree with this comment.
