Dadgum Milleniums take a lot of photos of their kids—a lot. What are the effects of that and what are some ways to keep kids from thinking they’re the next Paris Hilton?

134: Technology is Good

techreformation@gmail.com (Tech Reformation) — Sun, 22 Jul 2018 14:00:00 +0000

Ben and Derek get together to finally hash out the Tech Neutrality debate once and for all. And it turns out to have a pretty happy ending!

Sponsor: Missional Wear - the gift shop for reformed theology enthusiasts!

Notes

39: Does Tech Make you Dumb?

Derek: “All technology can be good or bad. But it’s not necessarily a question of good or evil. All technology can be good and evil, but its never neutral. We always have to think about that technology in and of itself affect culture in a particular way. [Gutenberg + iPhone]. It can’t possibly be neutral as a technology, and it’s not necessary good or bad, but we have to keep in mind that these things change our lives. We just want to make sure that they are changing them in the way that we want them to. Thinking critically about technology is part of redeeming technology. And yeah, that’s just very important.”
- So, I would not say that it is neutral. “Realizing that technology is not neutral suddenly changes the entire way that you think about technology.”

40: Tech Neutrality

Ben: sin requires agency
Derek: Technology is defined by utility
Ben: technology is being anthropomorphized unhelpfully
Ben: the shovel “hurts” us because of the Fall/curse
Tank: long term usage it and exposure to technology changes the way we think and look at the world
Derek: yes, technology shapes our worldview in an unconscious way
Dyer: language (one tech) includes genders and changes the way we perceive objects
Ben: our problem is one of communication, specifically with the word “neutral”
Derek: yes, let’s not be mindless consumers. Uncritical use leads quickly to sin.
Ben: Matthew 15 - I don’t want this to absolve people of culpability for their sin.
Derek: of course! I agree! But sin’s desire is for you and technology is made by us!
Tank: pornography proves that technology is not neutral. There are things that can only be used for evil.
Derek: but everything can be used for good because even the worst things show us how bad we are and how much we need God

53: Inanimate Milk

Derek: the new iPhone affects your life at least a little even if you only know there’s a new iPhone that you don’t have
Ben: It’s really all in how you use it.

81: Rugged Marriage Crossover

Derek: shovel analogy restated.
Ben: Technology is not sinful. Technology is not causative. Technology is not accountable.
Everyone: Technology = Utility + Purpose + Innovation
Ben really whiffed on the porn question.
- Derek agreed with my whiff.
Ben: circumstances we find ourselves in are occasions for temptations to sin or opportunities for godliness
Ben: I can’t claim before God that “Technology made me do it!”
Ben: It’s an issue of the human heart
Derek: It has an influence though!
Ben used the wrong word (correlative). Technology is instrumental.
Derek: Technology can be either good or bad, but it is never neither. (I AGREE)
Derek: My point is that it has a trajectory and an influence.
Ben: I’m trying to be a good biblical counselor here in this conversation.

In the Slack

Derek: Humans are very predictable and tend to do the same things as each other.

116: Plagued by Individualism

Ben: Derek has essentially ceded all ground to me in this argument. His argument is changing.

95: Your Dad is Illiterate

techreformation@gmail.com (Tech Reformation) — Sun, 1 Oct 2017 18:00:00 +0000

This week, we welcome David Mikucki from Helvetic: A Podcast to help us talk about parental controls, Twitter's character growth, and how technology influences our view of elders.

Give: Donate to hurricane relief efforts through Samaritan's Purse.

Topics

Tank: Google’s parental control software – TechCrunch
Ben: Twitter doubles the character limit from 140 to 280
David: A Quote from Carl Trueman’s The Creedal Imperative –– The rapidly changing pace of technology makes older people more dependant on younger people (to explain things) than in the past. Does this affect how we view older people and history?

"Closely related to the role of science in cultivating an attitude that downgrades the importance of the past is that of technology. A simple example should make this point clear. My mother lives in an old weaver’s cottage in the Cotswolds. In what is now her living room, there is a stone fireplace and, in that fireplace, there are a series of small holes, roughly an inch in diameter, now plugged with wood, which indicate where the weaver would have had his loom. It is easy to imagine a scene in the early nineteenth century in which the weaver was hard at work making cloth when one of his children wandered into the room and inquired as to what exactly he was doing. No doubt, the weaver would have sat the child down and explained how the loom operated, how the shuttle carried the woolen thread from one side to the other and slowly but surely formed a sheet of fabric. The flow of knowledge from the older generation to the younger was clear; this was no doubt repeated many times in preindustrial societies around the world, where children typically grew up to follow in the footsteps of their parents and were thus more or less apprenticed to their parents from an early age.

"Now, jump forward nearly two hundred years to a scene in the same room. I am sitting there, trying to set up my mother’s DVR to record a Gloucester versus Leicester rugby match and, try as I might, I cannot get the machine to do what I want it to do. In walks my niece and asks what I am trying to do. After I explain to her what is going on, she sighs, rolls her eyes, picks up the remote control, and with what seems to me to be two touches of the buttons, has the machine set up to record the match. With a shake of her head, she walks back into the kitchen.
Notice what has happened here, and what the significance of these two encounters is: the flow of knowledge has been reversed. No longer is the younger dependent upon the older; rather, the older is dependent upon the younger. Technology, because it is constantly and rapidly changing, inevitably favors those who have been brought up with it, and who have the kind of young, agile minds that develop new skills quickly and easily. You cannot easily teach a middle-aged historian, any more than an old dog, new tricks; and that means that technology will always favor the young.

"This is just one anecdote and, as my secretary will tell you, I am among the more—ahem—technologically challenged men of my generation; but the general point is a good one. The technological world, particularly given the rapidity with which it is constantly changing, creates an environment where the assumption is that older people are going to be dependent upon the younger. Taken by itself, perhaps, this might not be so significant; but combined with the impact of science as a whole upon cultural attitudes, it undoubtedly plays its role in the bias against age, and thus against the past, which is a hallmark of the modern world and which is not incidental in the general antipathy among Christians for creeds and confessions."
