A decision for the future
The following is a post for Randy Elrod’s Watercooler Wednesday, which I try to particpate in each week, and by the way, you should too.
Recently I’ve had several people come to me and ask me what I think about technology and the Bible mixing. I tell them I like it. Technology, and specifically computers, make the study of the Bible very quick to find information we’re looking for. But then they bring up other problems, like this one:
“What if I’m not supposed to be on the computer because of a limitation I have placed on myself, but that’s the way I typically read through the Bible?”
Now the obvious answer to this is to just open up the actual Bible and read. I think, if one has given themselves a self-imposed limitation, that this is the best thing to do. However, eventually, our lives are going to be on a tiny machine, and I wonder if that will be such an easy decision. Like say in, 50 years or so.
Anyone ready to lay down the books and go “wholly machined” yet?

My husband bought me the Kindle for Christmas. (Electronic book). Nothing replaces the deliciousness of holding a book in my hands, seeing and feeling the cover, getting lost inside the pages.
