Old Gospel; New Technology [1]


It's definitely a great Easter weekend, I hope your weekend was as great with the sole purpose being the remembrance of salvation.I was lucky to have celebrated my birthday on 22nd which this time around was on good-Friday. I spent this Easter at kabete TTI for an extremely wonderful youth convention in my life yet. Of-course for the convention organization itself to be able to be hosted on the internet is in itself a great idea and progress in spreading God's wonderful message using current technology. There was also a page on Facebook, so as to also enjoy in the goodwill of social media in the same.  Use of Technologies like these is absolutely great especially in this age where it's use has spread widely both in the 'developed' and developing countries. My opinion on the gospel however is that the same old time gospel should be preached in the churches even with emerging trends.

Save for that here's an insight of what tech would be like back in the days of the old gospel.

Case [Moses]
Israelites as seen on google-earth(pasted from ICantRememberWhere.com)
Google maps- Moses while leading the Israelites from Egypt would definitely have needed Google maps for navigation through the desert, the red sea and around mount Sinai as well. I guess the IDEOS would have served him pretty well.
On that note Moses would also have required a tablet(say the galaxy s), of which I think he'd treasure it more than crashing in to the ground.
Twitter would also be a big hit in the days with moses having the largest share of follower. Picture the Israelites tweeting their journey with controversial leads like dathan and korah being the biggest haters probably #TeamRoast main members.Numerous radicals would also be on-board, hating like it's doom's day. As the saying 'every market has a mad man' there definitely would be those 'tweeps' with all sorts of handles ranging from the creative to those fonyfony handles you come across every-once in a while (@joshulito @aaronWag1 are sample handles) .
IPods would also be a common thing with introverts buried in earphones 27/4 of the journey.especially people like joshua, Aaron who least had an idea of the direction or time it will take them to get to their destination.

ushahidi platrofm would also have been used to aquire data from people's tweets. We read that a whole generation died in the wilderness, with ushahidi use they'd have been able to track information from multiple sources.Crowdmap aswell would come in handy for info mapping.
Finally i think android phone OS would be in use with the numerous handsets acquired at the safcom outlets before crossing red sea. android market would boom just like it does today. 

I Thank God  a wonderful Easter, i hope you do as well.
