Three Nails

I for one would like to express how utterly happy I am that we now have an interactive website up and running! I’m a huge advocate for online communication. If used correctly, I believe that it can only strengthen our minds, hearts, experiences, and walks.

Having said this, I realize that there has been quite a lot of conversation over the use of technology both in and for the Church catholic. I’d like to ask everyone about various views concerning technology for and about Church. How should it be used and how should it not be used?

I’d also like to bring to everyone’s attention a series of lectures that the United States Library of Congress sponsored beginning in the fall of 2004. The series of eight lectures was focused around the theme of our “Digital Future”, or how current trends in technology are influencing our world’s (and nation’s) culture. Various topics include blogging, analog v. digital, information access, copyright law, quantum computing, metaphysics, e-books, and a whole lot more. The lectures are available for free through Audible, and well as on C-Span’s website. I find them an amazing resource for those Christians interested in hearing some extremely thought provoking conversations about our digital landscape. Each of them is a great introduction to a relevant technological question. I highly recommend listeniing to them all. If any of you has heard them, let me know what you think.
