Confronting Our Technology Addiction

We live in a world where digital devices are integral to how we communicate and work. And I think we could all agree those devices have changed how we interact with each other. So much of our communication has shifted to text messaging and platforms like Facebook and Instagram, and I’m not sure we understand what the consequences of our technology addiction. In this video from Qideas, Kara Powell discusses her thoughts on how technology affects our relationships from a Biblical perspective asking the simple question, Does technology help us love better?

• What relationships have you seen the most significant impact? Is the effect good or bad?
• Do you feel like mobile devices have had an impact on your emotional wellbeing?
• How can we help our students deal with technology and the effect on their lives?

If you are wondering what you can do to counteract the negative impact these devices might be having on your relationships, try making “love” the test as Kara describes in the video. See if it makes an impact and changes the way you look at and use technology.
