Truth

Truth is appreciated no matter the context. Even on the internet. Winning by cheating never gives the satisfying feeling of winning by worked for merits. Facebook realizes the importance of truth and cleans up the Facebook page to reflect truth. Truth, integrity are eternal principles. They will not leave simply because of technology advances that life brings. Trust is earned and can be lost quickly. Having the image of being untrustworthy is never wanted and is hard to go away from when obtained. In the world today secrets aren't easy to hide, especially with the increasing technology and share of information. Using Facebook as an example it is wise for them to be cleaning up their page to reflect real people and real companies.

With the iPhone 5 coming out it is crazy how people are so obsessed with it. I like a good piece of tech. They are fun to play around with and are capable of coming with many cool features. I don't wait in line for something that can easily be bought a little while after the first sell date. There will not be a shortage of iPhone 5s. If they do well they will continue to be ordered and made to satisfy any customer willing to go out and buy. I still have a "dumb" phone, so maybe I am behind the times, but I see no reason to upgrade to any sort of smart phone. Let alone, wait in a line just to get the next big phone.

Money, money, money is the only thing running through people's heads these days. Companies are always focused first and foremost on how they can make more money, even if that means pushing the customer to pay a little extra. What is the main deterrent for companies to back off on certain pricing schemes? Money! The threat of being sued or being sued is the only way to keep some companies in a relatively good price range. Laws that protect the customer in this way are excellent, but disappointing that they are so heavily needed.

Technology is a tool. Like any other tool, it can be used for good or evil. Technology has many uses and it is up to the user of the tool to choose. God has provided a way for this technology to come to pass and uses it to further His kingdom here upon the earth. Following the law of opposition to all things, Satan uses technology to make men miserable like unto himself. People have both of these pulling forces in their life and it is their decision in how they use the tool that has been provided. People use technology for good in many ways. Specifically in building God's kingdom, family history has greatly benefited and grown because of the easy access to share information. Technology can be a blessing or a curse. Let us choose to use it as a blessing not only for ourselves but for others also.
