Tech Reformation

Ben and Derek get together to finally hash out the Tech Neutrality debate once and for all. And it turns out to have a pretty happy ending! Sponsor: Missional Wear - the gift shop for reformed theology enthusiasts! Notes 39: Does Tech Make you Dumb? Derek: “All technology can be good or bad. But it’s not necessarily a question of good or evil. All technology can be good and evil, but its never neutral. We always have to think about that technology in and of itself affect culture in a particular way. [Gutenberg + iPhone]. It can’t possibly be neutral as a technology, and it’s not necessary good or bad, but we have to keep in mind that these things change our lives. We just want to make sure that they are changing them in the way that we want them to. Thinking critically about technology is part of redeeming technology. And yeah, that’s just very important.” So, I would not say that it is neutral. “Realizing that technology is not neutral suddenly changes the entire way that you think about technology.” 40
