Speaker: Isaac Gagarinas Series: The Christian and Technology
Speaker: Isaac Gagarinas - Today, we take the principles we have discussed so far and apply them to the smartphone. Utilizing Tony Reinke's book, 12 Ways Your Phone is Changing You, we focus on the topic of distraction. The smartphone is a modern technology that provides many benefits to society but also comes with dangers. Few dangers are clearer than distraction. This class seeks to consider why our smartphones are uniquely designed to contribute to our distraction and why we ourselves have an appetite for distraction. By understanding our phones and getting at the heart of distraction, we then consider several biblical principles to move away from distraction and move our hearts toward the eternal things of Scripture. It is from these principles and heart postures that we can then form healthy phone habits.
