Our Shifting Culture
This past February, I highlighted some fascinating statistics compiled by a high school technology director named Karl Fisch. Last month, Karl updated his presentation and made it available for you to view on YouTube.
Highlights from the updated presentation include:
- Today’s 21 year olds have spent 20,000 hours watching television, 10,000 hours playing video games, 10,000 hours talking on the phone, and have sent and received 250,000 emails or instant messages.
- More than 70% of U.S. 4 year olds have used a computer.
- 1 out of every 8 couples married in the U.S. in 2005 met online.
- The amount of technical information is doubling every two years. By 2010, it is predicted to double every 72 hours.
The world is changing. Culture is changing. Does your church know how to handle change?
