Streaming church services, conferences and other resources to remote locations has been increasing in the last 5 years. However, the situations where it could be the most useful are sometimes limited by lack of electronic equipment. New and converging technologies will change that soon.
The latest post at FutureWire reminds us that cell phone evolution combined with developing iPod technology will create new opportunities for media accessibility in almost any location.
FutureWire reports: Users of mobile devices who want to display their pictures and videos to others — or who at least want to see them on a bigger screen — may soon have their wish. A Redmond, WA company called Microvision has developed a 'microprojector' (no Wikipedia entry yet) that will allow cell phones and iPods to project images on a wall or screen. The project uses mirrors and compact lasers that have only recently become commercially available.

Man, I just got a cell phone with a camera. How can I keep up!
David,
The speed of the diffusion of new innovations is staggering as you have indicated. We’ll likely never be able to keep up with the cutting edge, however, the point of this blog is to encourage us, as Christians, not to give up on technology in general just because some people use it for junking up cyberspace.
And, glad to see you blogging….Keeping up with your wife, I mean!
Glad to hear from you. Please tell Mak hi for me.
now that sounds cool!
