Smallish Post

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has eagerly adopted technology.  The church has integrated computer capabilities into many facets of their business, from keeping records, to finances, to modern social networking.  Both young and old members have been encouraged to hop on the "tech" bandwagon, and to learn of the possibilities of modern technology, including how to use it safely and efficiently.  While there are dangers with increasing technology, the church has not shied away from the positive possibilities.  It is remarkable how accepting religions have become since the Puritanical days of burning at the stake for being a witch.  It has been inspiring to watch a religious organization have such vigor towards "magic", and the good that modern day witches (programmers) can conjure.

  1. I'd love to be able to tell people in the 1700s all about the progress and advances we've made in science and technology, but then there's this nagging feeling that I'll be burned for heresy.
