Many churches' youth are interested in more technology like internet and TVs in classrooms, as technology conditions the brain differently than just reading and can help engage learning styles like visual and kinesthetic learners, allowing immediate access to digital Bibles, music, and teaching tools.

• We start by getting rid
of common myths
about using online
technologies in the

the brain to pay

throughout history:
papyrus, printing
press, pianos, organs,

7. Myth #2
• Only the younger
generation uses
technology.

Adoption:

8. Myth #3
• "Technology could
replace real-life
relationships.”
• Online tools do two
things: expose and
enable what is already
available.
• You can use
technology in a way
that enriches real-life
relationships, to stay
connected between
the church's face-to-
face gatherings.
