new online world

excellent post from jonny baker about the whole new web 2.0 phenomenon. he points to a hefty and well-written article in the guardian today about it.
i resonate a lot with the sentiment of the article, and as a boomer am only just hanging on to the coat-tails of the internet-based network world that is becoming more of the norm for the current crop of teenagers.
its little wonder that people born in the late 1950s and earlier have trouble engaging with the networked generation born after 1980 (or even 1990).
the reimagination questions jonny asks are both uncomfortable and necessary if the church is to engage with its theology of incarnation and mission. i have a hunch that most people in most denominational churches have little idea of how to engage with this web-based world.
but their kids will....
