The Future of the Internet?

April 14, 2005

I came across a thought provoking Flash presentation this morning. It is an 8 minute presentation and it predicts the next 10 years on the Internet by looking back at the previous 10 years. My friend Keith Seabourn blogged in response to the implication for the future. I think it is important for the church to consider where our culture is heading and make sure we are ready to jump in. Some of what Keith says reminds me of what the apostle Paul said to Timothy in 2 Timothy 4, “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.” Will personalized content become increasingly more important than accurate content? I already see it today and I believe it will only increase.
