Digital technology is both helpful and harmful, delightful and dangerous. This presents a challenge compelling godly youth to make difficult choices. Peer pressure is powerful, and no one wants to be left behind. How are youth going to survive this enticing world of technology? This book offers Biblical principles, practical guidance, and a group study guide to help young people make hard choices in a soft society.
Tech Talk provided well-researched insight into the dangers of becoming addicted to modern tech, providing relatable examples as to how even intentional use can quickly segue into reliance. There were points in the book where I felt the warnings became a little heavy-handed, despite my own misgivings about an industry designed to be addictive. Although the book will best be appreciated by Christians (given the frequent Bible references), there is also plenty to take away even for those who may not share our faith tradition. I would recommend this book to anyone with a desire to think more deeply about how and when they choose to engage with mobile technology.
5* Required reading for every young Christian who owns a smartphone! This book helped me understand what is inside us that by default gets addicted to technology and entertainment. Very solid biblical teaching necessary today because of the devices everywhere. Any age can read this book. Thanks to Gary Miller for his work and writing.
