Group Discussion Question1. What does good applied theology do? 2. What would a good theology of technology do? 3. What is unique about a theology of technology? 4. What’s the difference between a comprehensive

Christian worldview of technology and a theology of technology?

Common Threads Among Christian Technologist WhoFeel Fulfilled in their VocationThey are good at what they do & respected in their fieldsThey have a vibrant faith, spiritual disciplines and church

community◦They have a strong community of other Christians passionate

about using their field for God and othersThey worked very hard at bridging their field with their

general Christian call of “loving God and Loving others”◦They have found a way to bridge their work with people “love

others” and excel in the human elements of their field◦They have become an expert in a particular aspect of bridging

their field with loving others

Part 2: From the Garden to the City

https://youtu.be/lZnEFTLFERk?t=1m20s

John Dyer Questions for Discussion1. Consider what Dyer says about technology’s “bent” & the law of

unintended consequences: How do you foresee those consequences while designing a new technology? How do you correct against them afterward? (Give examples.)

2. What are the implications of God’s having created us as embodied creatures (not just minds), and of the Incarnation for how we design tech, especially information & communications technology?

3. Marshall McLuhan famously said “the medium is the message”. In what ways can you see that to be true in the media that we commonly encounter?

4. How can tech that often isolates people be used instead to pull them together into deeper forms of community?

5. How can tech draw people away from spiritual disciplines, and how can it be used - specifically - to foster spiritual disciplines?

Part 3: Technology’s Fallenness and Redemption in the Current

World

Bias Inherent in Technology(from Kevin Kelly’s What Does Technology Want?)

Technology “wants” increasing: Efficiency Opportunity Emergence Complexity Diversity Specialization Ubiquity

• Freedom• Mutualism• Beauty• Sentience• Structure• Evolvability

Technological DeterminismSocial Constructivism Both have Influence(varies by society)

Problems◦The Pope is not Jesus◦Single point of failure◦Lack of competition

Hub/Spoke Architecture

Cause 1: Building the Networked ChurchArchitecture of Protestant Church

Pre-Internet Computers & LANs Disconnected/No Interconnection Atomized No hierarchy or denominational

hierarchy Problems

◦ The Body of Christ should not be atomized and disconnected

◦ Weak in addressing problems requiring a centralized approach

Isolated Networks(denominations & churches)

Cause 1: Building the Networked Church Complex organic

interconnection Uses strengths of both

centralized and distributed architectures

Modular Increased specialization Viral spread of the Gospel Problems

◦ TBD◦ Guess: spread of viral cults

Tech Impact on Vocation Discussion QuestionsIndividual Exercise: fill in each of the three grid printoutsPair up in groups of two1. Share what you wrote down for each of the grids. 2. Based on these how do you tend to get unbalanced and

off-centered from your ideal? What are the pressures to make you off-balance from your ideal?

3. How does your career and “location in these grids” shape your worldview? In what ways does your career create a bias in you toward solutions that fall in a particular domain (like the hammer and nail example)?
