ChurchRelevance.com has posted a fascinating YouTube video on their website, highlighting some of the technology-related cultural shifts that are now impacting our planet, along with projections of future impact if these trends continue. I found it extremely interesting. You might be surprised at some of the points. Here is a random sampling of points culled by the ChurchRelevance.com editor:
- Today’s 21 year olds have spent 20,000 hours watching television, 10,000 hours playing video games, 10,000 hours talking on the phone, and have sent and received 250,000 emails or instant messages.
- More than 70% of U.S. 4 year olds have used a computer.
- 1 out of every 8 couples married in the U.S. in 2005 met online.
- The amount of technical information is doubling every two years. By 2010, it is predicted to double every 72 hours.
