The electronics have invaded our lives and threatened our privacy. Seeking unlimited information, we became addicted to technology and fell like Adam and Eve who lost paradise seeking similar false knowledge away from God.
We all lose time before modern technology seeking both information and entertainment. Many dangerous games are among our hands to provoke instincts and violence, and make our minds captive to their logic. Moreover, many people fall in sin thanks to social networks.
This addiction has become a case of fall and captivity for thought and heart. Therefore, we lose our motivation to do good and show love to other people. Talking with millions of people on Facebook, Twitter, Skype, and Whatsapp should be accompanied by love. This love that we should receive from God first, but we have no more time to do so just like we don t have time to pray or minister.
Electronic addiction expresses our emptiness and boredom that Internet can never relieve. Our love to God and people shall only increase through communion. We can t give poor people food or water and we can t offer those clothes through the virtual life. We shouldn t be enslaved to computer and machines.
New technology should be used to serve the people not to enslave them. We can have great benefits from technology, but we should also take heed from such negative impacts and thoughts. We should remember that the devil roams roaring and seeking to swallow us.
(1 Corinthians 10:12).
We have renounced such enslave to the devil in our baptism. We have not taken the thought of the world, but of God who gave us to take strength from him as heavenly creations with a divine nature.
