Technology, friend or foe?

As you can probably tell from my blog, I’m a huge fan of technology and a self-confessed geek.

But from time to time, I like to examine the things I give my time and energy to…and ask hard questions about the things I enjoy most.

I took the photo above in a recording studio in England. It made me laugh because the phone is so huge and looks so old fashioned! It reminded me how fast technology develops and that something we thought was incredible a few years back, now looks prehistoric!

I’m aware that I love having the latest gadgets, and that I almost start salivating when a new Apple product is unveiled. I’m also aware that I spent hours a day on my laptop, and that a large amount of my friendships happen through texting, facebook, skype or twitter. I rarely go a couple of minutes without looking at my phone and checking messages or tweets.

Having thought about it the past few weeks, I feel like there are huge pros and huge cons to all this technology…So here are my honest and in some cases, a bit painful, reflections…..

Aussie Joy…. she rocks!

Hey there!

(1) A band on tour

(2) A bunch of Amish people stranded on the side of the road

(3) A phone number you can call, to get all your questions answered

What do these 3 things have in common?! Check out my friend’s blog to find out!

I love it when my friends Blog. There’s something so fun about having friends that share the same passions and interests, and someone who understands and shares my love of Blogging and Twitter is my friend Joy! There aren’t many girls into all this stuff… All the guys who taught me how to Blog and Twitter (Randy Elrod, Spence Smith, Carlos Whittaker (Ragamuffin Soul), are all GUYS!) so its great to have some chicks in the cyberworld too!

Joy wrote a blog today that mentions me… so check it out by following the link below!

Question – “Do you have friends that understand your love of being online, visiting blogs, twittering, Macs, iPhones and all-things-geekish?!”

Love,

A Big British “Hooray” for the iPhone!!

Photo_6

After months of telling myself "you do NOT need one!" today I finally bought an iPhone…Hooray!

These were the reasons that I allowed myself to buy it (Yes, I’m still justifying the purchase – the signs of someone who hates spending any money! My Dad is an accountant and I think he rubbed off on me!…)

1. I continually get lost while driving around my own city (ask any of my friends…they will tell you it’s true!). iPhone has GPS… I will never be lost, late or end up in Kentucky by mistake, again…haha : )

2. I am bad at carrying my camera anywhere, as it is HUGE! So now I have a small camera with me at all times!

3. I will be able to get online and write my Blog on the road..so I can keep in touch with you guys when I am on tour… I am addicted to Blogging and Twitter…help!

4. I am a geek and love gadgets!

There it is. So I am a very happy British girl today : )

My question for you today is a bit of a thought-provoker, and totally unrelated to iPhones!

"What Church denomination do you attend and why?  How do denominations fit into the overall picture of the Body of Christ? Is it sad division or healthy diversity?""

Ah, how I love to ask controversial questions  ; )  It’s really just because I enjoy you guys’ discussions so much!

Thanks for your friendship,
Vicky
