John, Thanks for posting this. It’s rare to be able to read a potential counter to current thinking about social media.

John,

Good post…I like what you had to say about him determining his own actions based on the negatives, and what he values. He has decided that what he gains outside of the online world is of more value to him, than what others may decide.

And way to go for showing more restraint than me on his comment about “cultural masturbation.” You are a better man than me…..

I love Wright’s work and I’m glad he has chosen his time wisely….

John, thanks so much for posting this. Technology just sort of happens upon us and it is so important to take time to reflect on the way it is impacting our time and relationships. It isn’t neutral and this video is a great reminder/challenge.

I love your blog and cant’ wait for your book.

I appreciate this, John. J.I. Packer made some comments about the value of blogging recently, too, athttp://www.worldmag.com/articles/16150:

I’m amazed at the amount of time people spend on the internet. I’m not against technology, but all tools should be used to their best advantage. We should be spending our time on things that have staying power, instead of on the latest thought of the latest blogger—and then moving on quickly to the next blogger. That makes us more superficial, not more thoughtful.
