They are very effective in many respects. As communication devices, GPS's for finding addresses, booking flights, checking bank balances, keeping track of appointments...and I even get Google plus messages with encouraging Bible verses from Christians all over the country. The fact is we need to exercise self control and make sure our gadgets remain utilitarian and do not distract us from right living, relating and conversing with others...and don't allow social media to trap us into overuse of the sites which only feed pride and waste our time. One can become addicted to these things and we must be on guard against it.John Joseph Flanaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06596324816480709495noreply@blogger.com
