Yes, I do see the convergence of media in my family, too. At home, among 5 of us, we use 5 computers and 5 mobile phones. However we do not use any TV-set at all. I even disconnected the TV tuner from our media center PC. We concluded the TV content used to bring more Bad than Good to our family. Apparently, as our children use computers, I found it easier with PCs instead of TVs. Each kid's computer's activity is limited to 2 hours a day and their activities are monitored by a parental software. The rest of their free time is to be spent "off-line". I want the e-media to be complementary to our real social life, and keep them away from any chance to destroy our true relationship with others and with the natural world around us. I admit I enjoy the power of Internet. I love the fact I can participate to the global network of culture and knowledge while sitting at my desk in Warsaw, Poland, miles away from other readers of this blog. Still I say the most important medium is our dining room table. I know face to face evening discussions are much more important to let our kids and ourselves becoming the better people and changing the world into a better place to live.

Amazing how we can be around so much technology - even with regard to everyday matters - and still miss the message. May it never be so for us. May we use every communication method to lovingly demonstrate God's interest and desire to know us.

One of the statistics given is one trillion web pages. With that many out there, I'm sure that I am probably missing some that I'd really like to see. How can I easily find which ones they are? One trillion is too many to sample individually. I don't want to spend a lot of time on this. My underlying point is that having many choices is not always a good thing. One could easily spend more time trying to sort out the best choices than benefiting from whatever choices are ultimately made. Do you see the dilemma here? -Steve I'm going to pose this question id a deliberately simplified form. One of the statistics given is one trillion web pages.

The biggest positives that I see are our free access to much more information and our ability to share what we believe. Of course, one big negative is the constant clamoring of that same information--sometimes it's hard to turn off the computer. As far as advertising goes, I never look at ads on websites, but I do read the ads in newspapers and magazines. Of course with television, I mute during most ads--although I do enjoy some of the ads that have consistent characters--or surf other channels.

But as you stated in the title, it's only the 'media' world. There are literally billions of people on the planet who have no access to and no use of and little or no access to any form of media. We still have to remember that we live in a bubble. We live in a world within a world. We get so wrapped up in believing that 'the world' is all about electronic devices and media and we completely forget that so many people still exist, quite happily, outside of our technological bubble.
