2. Who said this?
An incredible new technology
enables the transmission of text on
a worldwide base. It rapidly
reduces production and
distribution costs and for the first
time allows large numbers of
people to access text and pictures
in their own homes.
6. The new technologies will bring
‘every individual… into
immediate and effortless
communication with every
other, .. Practically obliterate
political geography’, and make
free trade university.
Thanks to technological
advances, ‘there are no longer
any foreigners’ and we can
look forward to ‘the gradual
adoption of a common
language’.
8. DISCUSS
All technologies offer
AFFORDANCES, CONSTRAINTS and
change SOCIAL PRACTICES
What has been made possible with the
introduction of mobile phones?
How have mobile phones limited our activities?
How have our social practices/habits, etc.
changed since mobile phones?
9. Findings?
The world in your pocket – less things to carry – diary, Bible, prayer
book, etc.
Micro-credit, banking in Africa, decide markets
Lack of boundaries 24-7 work emails; emailing inappropriate
stuff/times. Clear space other times of day
Security in social situations – bury head in to avoid others
Endangered pulpit banter – answer is on the phone (also pub quizzes)
No effort to be on time, as just call & let know
Getting left behind by technology, digital divide/exclusion (lack of
signal in N-East)
See what kids are up to on Facebook – where their community is.
20. Technological Dystopianism?
Digital media
Taking away abilities to do things they could do
before, or do things they shouldn’t do
Ruining people’s ability to make meaning precisely/
accurately with language
Social relationships – becoming isolated or meeting
up with ‘the wrong kind of people’
Changing the way that people think – easily Jones &
distracted – unable to construct/follow complex Hafner
arguments. Understand
Social identities - are these ‘genuine’, and how ing Digital
much do you have control over? Literacies
2012, p11
33. The human
audience will always
be the most
important. In face,
the whole point of
your SEO plan is to
bring in that
audience and speak
to them, clearly, in
their own language
(p102)
34. If you want to get
someone to take
action, you need to
get a commitment
first to something
small that will
activate a persona,
and then you need
to ask for a
commitment to
something later (p77)
35. What do you see as the fears &
possibilities of digital/social media?

37. If I had asked people what they wanted,
they would have said faster horses.

Introduce Bex Lewis, Project Manage BB, seeking to encourage “bigger Bible conversations, online & offline”, also happen to be a lecturer in media studies, with a background as a historian… The text here: There is a revolution sweeping across the globe, driven by the massive growth of the internet and internet related technologies. Known as the Digital Revolution it is on par with other great global shifts such as the Agrarian Revolution and the Industrial Revolution. And it is completely changing the landscape of how we communicate, how we influence, how we relate. This isn’t simply about coming to grips with a new technology to assist us in our work, but requires of us a fundamental shift in our processes, our structures and approaches. If we don’t respond then as Eric Hoffer states, we will find ourselves, ‘beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.’ 1 hour session

We’ve had similar panics re: e.g. the introduction of the telephone … too much licence to daughters, etc…
No fixed answers = to think about! Just 2 mins to discuss, then feed in briefly! E.g. thinking we make more flexible plans, cancel more … what happens when your battery runs out? Do you feel lost/relieved, etc.?

2 minutes – some social media stats (note FB already up to 800 million) More commonly we see: http://youtu.be/nPYrbSUqr2k (but seen it SO many times, quite like this one, tho it’s March 2011)

It ’s a SPACE …
So, I hope that you ’ll start using the terminology of online/offline, rather than real/virtual… these are real people, engaging in real relationships online.
So, if you ’re going to engage in these conversations – how do you become part of the conversation? As we’ve said, need to understand the tools… Understand is no such thing as ‘social media’, it’s a collective term for a range of tools, which allow you to have different types of conversations with different people… it may be slightly daft, but it works – hence why this went “viral”!
Figures from 2009/10 – most up to date … large numbers even then.

So many tools – e.g. use Mailchimp for newsletters (free) … so much we could talk about, but wanted an overview of tools available… and the different possibilities of each…
2 mins to chat to each other.. Think particularly about ideas you’ve had for your own context - Then feed in?
2:46
2:30 – already in development – not mainstream… yet…
1 minute – how close are we to this? Any concerns about the ‘bubble’ mentality that’s possible with this?
2 minutes – all the things that technology has/will kill – we have to think whether we think that’s for the better or not!
Time Magazine, 2006 – talked about it as a Revolution…
What about for church? This is the model we have now….
Can we move towards something more like this – what does this mean for church leaders?
3:12 (don’t want to watch this … just how daft it is trying to predict the future)…
3 minutes – where things appear to be going now – everything interacts with us …
Be involved!!
So ... More discussions… who ’s going to kick us off?
