Many of us have recently streamed the sobering hit Netflix documentary The Social Dilemma. Described by one prominent movie reviewer as the “single most lucid, succinct, and profoundly terrifying analysis of social media ever created," the documentary features several industry-insiders pulling back the curtains on the Silicon Valley design principles that keep us so closely tethered to our technological devices and social media platforms.
What wisdom does the Christian faith have for maintaining a healthy relationship with our iPhones?
How much screen time is too much?
What role should social media play in the Christians' life?
Join us for this live virtual event as we explore these questions and many more with Dr. Craig Gay, Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies at Regent College. Dr. Gay is the author of Modern Technology and the Human Future: A Christian Appraisal and is a leading scholar at the intersection of Christian theology and contemporary technology.
