The effect of photo, tv, and internet
I’ve been wanting to read this book called “Flickering Pixels” How Technology Shapes Your Faith, but haven’t been able to get a copy. Here’s an interesting interview:
Virtually everywhere we turn today, technology is reshaping the ways we relate and communicate. We go online. We download. We chat and Twitter and hang out on Facebook until our eyes hurt and our brains burst. And more than ever before, the options regarding which movies, music, TV shows and video games we might consume are virtually unlimited.
But how do these media actually influence us? I recently talked with author and Mennonite pastor Shane Hipps, someone who’s thought deeply about that question. His new book, Flickering Pixels: How Technology Shapes Your Faith, describes the profound ways our electronic culture molds the way we see the world … and each other.

I just saw the book at the LEadership Summit at church- didn’t remember that this was the one you were writting abt or else I would have gotten it. but I did think of how it was related to what you wrote about here.
