Accessibility Accentuates Everything

Who remembers libraries? How about phonebooks? Yeah me neither.

Actually, that's not true. In spite of the powerful technology I carry around in my back pocket, I still utilize these quaint resources from time to time to look something up. Which kind of brings me to the intended topic: the effects of accessibility.

There's no need to do a lot of explaining. If you're reading this blog post you most likely own a smart phone or have a blog of your own or have a very active Facebook account - or all three. You're fairly savvy, cyber-speaking, and you are more than well aware of what it now means to have the world at your fingertips. You're probably also aware of how this accessibility to EVERYTHING seems to only accentuate the influence of everything. It's culture gone hyperbolic.

Take your pick: politics, pornography, shopping, music, social interaction, preaching, teaching, complaining & gaming. All of these and millions more topics, broad-spectrum to niche-like, are brought front and center with a simple search.

It's old news, but nevertheless, my point is this: If you're blogging or posting or Facebooking or tweeting or Skyping or publishing, or whatever you're doing online, be a force for good and for God (Hmmm...sounds familiar). Never before has influence this extraordinary been handed to so many ordinary people. It's a big world, made small by technology, so get out there and start influencing.
