We must learn to balance the material wonders of technology with the spiritual demands of our human race.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Whenever a new technology is introduced into society, there must be a counterbalancing human response - that is, high touch - or the technology is rejected... We must learn to balance the material wonders of technology with the spiritual demands of our human nature.
We live in a world that relies on technology.
Technology challenges us to assert our human values, which means that first of all, we have to figure out what they are.
We build our technologies as a way of addressing all our anxieties and desires. They are our passions congealed into these prosthetic extensions of ourselves. And they do it in a way that reflects what we dream ourselves capable of doing.
Technology is unlocking the innate compassion we have for our fellow human beings.
Nature holds the key to our aesthetic, intellectual, cognitive and even spiritual satisfaction.
Without the spiritual world the material world is a disheartening enigma.
If future generations are to remember us more with gratitude than sorrow, we must achieve more than just the miracles of technology. We must also leave them a glimpse of the world as it was created, not just as it looked when we got through with it.
Technology is notorious for engrossing people so much that they don't always focus on balance and enjoy life at the same time.
I am amazed at the wonders of technology and am grateful for the ways in which we are able to use it to share the Gospel around the world.
