Meta, a trillion dollar company, is convinced you need more Virtual Reality in your life, but they also like making money, so they’re moving to mobile gaming. That might be great for revenue, but it’s going to be bad for focus and downtime. Make some time this week to take a brain break and experience some boredom. I dare you.
While you’re working on being bored, check out Mark 7:14-23 where Jesus reminds us that our hearts are our real problem. Yes, tech can feed the worst in us, and we should remove tech that causes us to sin, but it doesn’t cause us to be bad. We are plenty bad on our own. We need to give our hearts to Jesus, do what he says, and use the tech that helps us look more like him.
