How Technology Changes (and Can Destroy) Lives
The NTSB has determined that the engineer involved in the
tragic train crash in Los Angeles recently was texting on his cell phone
during the final minute before the impact. They didn't disclose the
content, but his last message was sent 22 seconds before the crash.
Their initial studies determined that was way too little time to avert the
disaster. We already know that texting in the car is accounting for
mounting auto crashes, and now this. The NTSB also said the engineer
send 45 text messages on duty just in the morning that day. During
the first 90 minutes of his afternoon shift, he sent 12 messages.
The question becomes, how do we control technology? Just because we can do something, doesn't mean we should...
I know someone who when interviewing potential employees asks to check their phone and looks at their text message log -- if they have too many they don't get the job.
The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit, unless they are texting on a cell phone and have made technology their spirit guide. -- John 3:8 (KJV Amplified!)
