I have a VR headset. I work in an industry where some of my clients manufacture VR. From my experience there are (key word here) currently far more evil and totally ungodly video games, tv sitcom, and general human behavior than in the world of VR. Again, I say “currently”. The technology in and of itself is not evil but the intentions of the heart can be greatly so. Undoubtably, there will come terribly evil things from this technology, just like all the technologies before have produces their share of evil. But in the end it all goes back to the heart of man. Technology is simply an arena. Like I always say... it may start out with a great reason to help mankind, but usually at some point, sin gets involved. What can be a good thing can almost always also become a bad thing too - depending on the heart of the user. There are some amazing technological advances, but we have to stop and evaluate if they are truly worth the ease that they bring or are we paying some sort of price by using them? As I grow older, I find myself wishing for the days of my childhood; which were relatively free of much of technology save a tv, microwave, and landline telephone. I long for the quiet and peace of those days where news came one time per day at 6 p.m. followed by national news at 6:30 p.m. I miss a lot of things about that time, but like TR - I am always an advocate of indoor plumbing and running water!! 😉 :mdrmdr: Yohanan, I am not a “gamer” by any stretch of the imagination but I would agree 100% with you on what little I have seen. It is truly amazing the pure evil of some of the games, videos, and most recently tv shows. I have resorted to watching prophecy YouTube videos, DIY, building off grid, the weather channel, and gadgets on YouTube, that’s about all I can stomach. It would not bother me to do away with my TV. the verse that states the heart of MSN is desperately wick, who can know it... is spot on. I too have seen good come from technology but man will and does corrupt even this. Ready to depart this ole world. :prayer-hands: IMHO, it will be a preconditioning for the unveiling of the "Beast"! VR is that spoonful of sugar Mary Poppins sings of! TR Knowing what tech is out there now and what is out there that "we the public" are not aware exists - I shudder to think of that time during the tribulation when the Holy Spirit is not restraining the evil intentions and use of such tech. Goodness gracious. Seeing China using this social credit system and facial recognition software, not too mention other AI capabilities - is it any wonder there will be so many tribulation martyrs?? Yet we know that there will be believers that somehow survive to the end, but how they do it... that will be impressive. Just saw an article today that the US Army is creating a "Google maps on steroids" that can have the interior of buildings through satellite usage. Add that type of tech with software that finds human heat signatures and AI constantly monitoring it... I will be impressed how believers evade the evil forces.
