Facebook and Myspace socially networking the World but culturally retarding its Humans

Being in three people's profile picture has forced me to weigh in on these social network communities, something others at Redeemer have been wrestling on for awhile, as it seems to go against their Protestant puritanist work ethic, Christian creational stewardship responsibilities and inner harmonic sensibilities. Personally, I think anyway that anyone can ever communicate with others, that in of itself truly is a good thing. Though I do agree we need to push for more face to face not interface to inteface, we must recognize that society has pressed inhuman burdens upon all of us that we must therefore we must improvise, adapt then overcome this problem that has become technology over humanity, if we do not then we risk turning the natural human in humanity into an industrial machine as in machinery.
