Technology… Its the Work of the Devil!
April 4, 2008
Many in today’s culture have embraced technology; however, some think it is the works of some evil force. Perhaps you know of someone who thinks computers are sinister and evil. My wife’s parents are always talking about the nonsense of technology. Her mother saw some kids with wires stuck in their ears at the mall and this concerned her. I didn’t even try to explain to her that they were likely listening to an audio file on a portable audio player. Or that it is even possible (but not likely) that they were listening to educational content and not music from a singer who would bite the head off a bat!
Unfortunately those that have a warped opinion of technology are not just the older (and basically uninformed) but are “educated” and teaching in our school system. Take a listen to this clip for an interesting opinion from an 8th grade writing teacher. It is really sad…
