1 billion computers and 2 billion TV's are in use at any one time.
Technology is not a bad thing. God let us create technology to glorify Him.

What's the number one thing you do with free time?
Whatever you spend your time doing, how can you replace that with Jesus?
There is no such thing as multitasking, only division of attention.
