So don t go away, I ll be right back. Yet for Christians, this technology problem may turn out to be our greatest advantage and place for ministry on behalf of the Lord Jesus Christ. Not at all as we ll see in just a moment. But for now we need to remember that this computer problem will not in and of itself just go away. For everyone worldwide will be affected.
Most people don t realize how much computer technology touches their lives.
The average person comes into contact with seventy microchips before noon and an average car we ride in contains twenty-four embedded microchips. Indeed, as many are saying there is danger ahead in this new year as we face the impending breakdown of our worldwide computer technology due to a computer error that faces every business and government round the world. Well after this second pause for a musical refreshment, I ll update you on our nation s progress to fix it, and what you can and should do about it in this coming year. Today whether we like it or not we have to admit that our world, everyone s world, whether or not we own or use a computer is totally run by and is dependent upon these technological marvels of science. And, because of this our economy, our military, our social structures, even our health and happiness is vitally dependent upon its running smoothly and correctly.
