| Professor Quentin Schultze discusses technologies that people use to communicate with each other and the need to use them with discernment. Schultze is author of Habits of the High-Tech Heart: Living Virtuously in the Information Age. He explains that each new medium for communicating has the potential to either improve communication or amplify broken communication. People, he says, ought, then, to be very deliberate in how they use new technologies. Schultze offers a guideline for those who are attempting to determine the real value of a new technology: if a technology nurtures community life instead of merely serving the individual, then it and the practices that accompany it are valuable. |
