- hnriot 14y agoI love this, this totally demonstrates the hypocrisy of any church. Even the most dedicated cheat when they know they can't be caught. Smartphones change everything, they are like the wheel. For the first time in human history, we (nearly) all have what Bill Gates said, All the world's "Information at Your Fingertips" - literally. Since humans are pack animals, anything that strengthens the herd will prevail over every other human need.

- sivers 14y agoCheck out Kevin Kelly's great book, “What Technology Wants”. He really got to know some Amish communities and has some fascinating thoughts on how their approach to technology is a good role model. He adds the twist that many of us should be early adopters to try every new technology, but put it through the same, “How does this benefit us?” questioning that the Amish do.
