I sure can't learn so much about God and have Christian fellowship on my cell phone.Which one do you think God would want me to spend more time on? you can access this site on your phone. Yes,but I choose to have only one obsessive object in my life.Worthy=Learning about God and Socializing with his people vs. Cell phone= What Kwik said "I dunno,,,seems the phones are smart and sucking the smart out of this generations brains?!!!"I think I will go with the Christian website on my computer.I am on this website ALOT less than people are on their cell phones.Plus my cell phone bill is $30.00 a month because I have so few minutes per month because I am not on it.How much do you pay to have your cell phone a month?

So thanks for being you in Christ Kwik, God richly bless you sis! Woe to me for putting bitter for sweet really, now that I think about it.

I cannot understand what there is to be defensive about?I cannot understand how anyone can take it personally when someone is talking about a generation of techno dependents......(majority?)Technology can't make an already educated person less educated than what they are but in fact in can open a whole world of information within seconds that would take hours at the library.....It has made my life much easier......and to me is a blessing,being a cancer patient in remission I am debilitated in many ways and could not even fellowship daily had it not been for God bringing me here to Worthy,praise the Lord... Our youths are allowed to bring calculators to school(elementary schools)-they have great difficulty in mathematics(ask them to do the times table),they have spell check(is that helpful or a hinderance).Everything that we used to memorize in our brains our children can store away in a computers memory......I don't see this as helpful,I feel the parts of the brain that these young people are not using may be a great hinderance somewhere along the way.....like my referrance to the cashier that cannot give change without ringing it up in the computer....what happens if the lights go out? I teach Bible Study to little ones,they all know how to google and have great difficulty in memorization.....I have seen a major difference in kids abilities and lack of social skills(thats another topic-computers & T.V.s for babysitters).....I love them all,and you will bet your last dollar I will do all I can do to make a difference in their lives...in Jesus Name With love,in Christ-Kwik(& I love you all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
