Habits of the High Tech Heart: Living Virtuously in the Information Age

In this updated and expanded edition, Schultze and invited guests consider the moral and social costs of today's sophisticated technology, arguing that the benefits of a cyberculture can be better appreciated by refocusing on the traditional Judeo-Christian values of discernment, moderation, wisdom, humility, authenticity, and diversity. Contributors reflect on Schultze's original offering -first published more than 20 years ago-and evaluate its arguments in light of today's fast-paced, ever-changing technological landscape. Contributors suggest ways in which Schultze's original arguments and critiques offer continued hope and a clear path forward in digital environs filled with personal and institutional burdens. Theoretical connections between past and present are explored, while daily communication practices to help cultivate faithful Christian engagement are put forth. Students of technology and culture will delight in this book's timeless insights, which transcend platform-specific architecture and the latest digital advancement. -
