Signs of the times (II)

Hey Dad!



I just thought of something else that would amaze you! In your day, computers filled rooms and did "slide rule" calculations. Today, I have more computational power in my lap right now than all of the government computers that sent men to the moon! Not only that, but we connect routinely with computers elsewhere and access information on a world-wide scale on a contraption called "the internet!" It's really quite amazing!



22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. (Romans 1:22,23)


Now I've read a report that, by the year 2010, the internet will be out of room and will be able to expand no more without substantial investment.

28Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. (Romans 1:28)




Of course, there'd be more room on the internet if it wasn't for spam e-mail, unbridled pornography, and everysort of "spyware" and virus trap imaginable. You know, if some people would put as much energy and inventiveness into legal and/or moral business pursuits as they put into illegal and/or immoral ones, they'd be lending money to Bill Gates. Oh, I'm sorry. He's like the richest guy in the world. He got that way in the computer software business. I told you it was big!

More later, Dad! - Dan
