I have really been enjoying reading John Dyer’s blog, Don’t Eat the Fruit. John is currently in the middle of a 5 post series “exploring Neil Postman’s lecture ‘Five Things You Need to Know about Technological Change’ as it relates to church life and spirituality.” Here are 3 of the 5 posts he has written so far.
I love The Church…and I love certain types/aspects of technology. So I’m glad there are people out there like John who challenge us to ask the hard questions regarding not only technology, but how we use it in The Church. This is one of my new favorite blogs and I hope you continue to read his blog as he continues his series.
Looking forward to meeting John in person at ChurchTechCamp:.Dallas (#ctcdallas)
Also check out Technopoly by Neil Postman.
Good stuff. I think most of the posts I am reading here are condensed from that Technopoly and applied to the church.
Good stuff…thanks.
Matt,
Awesome. I will check that out. Thanks for posting.
Great church out there. I have been out there myself. Hung out with Chuck Bomar back in the day to talk about college ministry.
Have lots of friends out there. We just moved from Los Angeles to Dallas.

Rhett, thanks for the shout bro! I’m glad you guys are putting on ctcdallas. I think it’s pretty crazy that you, John, and I will first meet in the church we both attend!
@matt, Postman published Technopolyin 1993 he condensed some of the ideas in the book for his 1998 lecture “Five Things We Need to Know about Technological Change” which I’ve condensed a bit further
