Jehovah’s Witnesses have worked with some of the biggest tech firms in creating or adapting various technologies in a way that advances the agenda of publishing Bible literature, quickly and cost-effectively. They have also developed many in-house technologies, some of which have been way ahead of the times. At some point they even used customized computer hardware to run their in-house publishing software. Yes, there was such a thing as a MEPS-(Multi-Language Electronic Phototypesetting System)]] computer designed by and for Jehovah’s Witnesses to run MEPS software! (The “P” in MEPS now stands for “Publishing.”) Way before that, Jehovah's Witnesses had an early start to the age of cinematography, syncing moving pictures with sound—ten years ahead of the film industry! (For more on this Watch the documentary: “Jehovah’s Witnesses Faith in Action-Part 1” available for free on their official website, or the JWLibrary app.)
The respected Seybold Report on Publishing Systems, Volume 12, No. 1, September 13, 1982, commented:
 “IBM is trying once again to increase its presence in the industry, and the vehicle by which it hopes to do so is an interesting package called the ‘Integrated Publishing System’ (IPS). IPS was not developed by IBM,” the report acknowledges, but “[by] Watchtower, the publishing arm of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, where it was created primarily for their internal use.”
No wonder, they currently hold the world's record for having the most translated website on the Internet. The second place does not even come close, in terms of the figures! All their meetings and assemblies are accessible on a feature-rich app that also potentially stores enough content to fill a decent library—all available for free and in hundreds of languages.
Through out the pandemic Jehovah’s Witnesses suspended their meetings and almost seamlessly started holding their meetings online. Young and old quickly adapted to this change—because they already use apps and similar technologies for their meetings and ministry. Many older ones who can't yet attend in-person meetings are happy to continue using Zoom on their computers, tablets or smart phones to connect with fellow congregation members.
As a general rule, Jehovah’s Witnesses will use the most effective technologies available to further the agenda of Matthew 24:14. It's important for them to obey the Lords command here. They care a lot about what Jesus said Christians should do, as any serious Christian would.
