Technology: the New Tower of Babel
()
About this ebook
This book seeks to bring attention to our growing preoccupation with technology. Our overwhelming dependence upon this mode of existence has created some negative results. For example; it has diminished our intellectual skills, consumed too much of our time, become dangerously distracting, and more importantly, has taken priority over the things of God.
These things are very evident in everyday life. Consequently we must see the potential danger of these signs, if not, we run the risk of committing the sin of idolatry – just like those who built the Tower of Babel!

T his book is dedicated to everyone who confesses Jesus as Savior and Lord. It is intended to encourage and to remind such individuals that the Creator of Heaven and earth still reigns supreme. We should always remember that the glory belongs to Him alone. Consequently, we must never give top priority to anything or to anyone other than
