Canticle of Praise for the Media
We thank you, Lord God, for the unending Pentecost
of Your creative Holy Spirit, which enables Your
sons and daughters to be afire with Your Truth,
Beauty and Goodness.
May the blind see, the deaf hear, and the poor
receive justice through the proclamation of
the Good News through today’s media. Amen.
--Blessed James Alberione, SSP

NATIVES
The Silents
(1925-1945)
latecomers to
technology.
Internet, podcasts,
texting, online
gaming & social
networking are
largely alien
concepts to them.
The Baby Boomers
(1946-1964)
reached adulthood
without digital
technology. While
many embrace
new technologies,
some do so only
partially or
reluctantly.
Generation X
(1965-1982)
Digital
technologies
emerged largely
during their teen
years. They
willingly embrace
technology.
Generation Y /
Millennials
(1983-1999)
have enjoyed the
luxuries of digital
technology since
they were children,
including the
massive video
game industry.

Christ has no online
presence but yours.
No Snapchat, no Facebook
page but yours.
Yours are the tweets through
which love touches this
world.
Yours are the posts through
which the Gospel is shared.
Yours are the texts and
updates through which hope
is revealed.
Christ has no online
presence but yours.

A short history of the digital revolution
• 1. personal computers & desktop publishing
2. "digital" technology=reproductions without loss of quality
3. "text" internet (tethered to a computer)
4. search engines (the world at your fingertips)
5. perfected delivery of graphics, video & audio over internet
6. Wi-Fi (untethered internet access on computers)
7. smartphones (untethered internet access on cellphones)
8. social media (instantaneous sharing of media, thoughts, reactions, activities,
creations via text, graphics, photos, videos, streaming)
9. people addicted to devices 24/7--almost as an appendage
10. young people's drastic loss of reading, writing & verbal literacy
skills in actual reality--in favor of digital communication in virtual reality
11. a return to a visual culture

• Are you happy with the way you, family, friends, colleagues, youth
use media around you? What example can you set?
• What is your personal plan for your own media device & social media use
now?
• What conversations do you need to have with family, friends, colleagues,
youth about media devices & social media?
When / how will you have these conversations?
• Where is God (specifically) in your digital life? Where might He
need to be?
