The human touch

We can study the numbers, but we must remember that each number is actually a person, created by God, worthy of our attention. You are not a number or an outcome. You are not a gadget. You are far more than your social profile. While the algorithms offer pictures of our collective behavior, discipleship still comes down to a life on a life. We are children of God, called to love and serve God’s children. Let’s figure out how to live out our faith in tangible ways, each hyperaccelerated day.—iGods: How Technology Shapes Our Spiritual and Social Lives, electronic edition
