1.24 | Twelve Ways Your Phone is Changing You (Part 1)

from All of the Above · host Ridgewood Church

We love technology. We often find ourselves excited by new tech and devices and trinkets.  And Christians have always been in favor of technological advancement.  It’s part of our convictions around being made in God’s image - that we were made to create! But all tech comes with a cost because all tech changes us. In this episode, Trevor and Jon Hyatt begin part 1 of a conversation about Tony Reinke's book, "12 Ways Your Phone is Changing You." Reinke writes:  “[I]s my smartphone a hostile enemy?  Is it a cultural trinket? is it a legitimate tool?  Those are a few of the questions we examine in the pages ahead. Our phones have concentrated powerful technology into a little device we control with our thumbs… All of these realties are changing us; there’s no debate on that. The bigger questions remain: How are our smartphones changing us? and should we be concerned?" (p.39) How are we being changed? Give us a listen!
