CHURCH AND TECHNOLOGY!
Randy Santiago @ Aug 18, 2008 09:25 AM
It looks like MTV and VH1 have lost a lot of speed and traction with the ‘youth and 20 somethings’ according to the latest research.  I’ll highlight their explanation:

The fundamental problem could be that the “youth demo” that Viacom has hotly chased after for the last couple decades is a bust. Teens and twenty-somethings don’t watch TV anymore; they don’t read newspapers; and they’re technologically promiscuous — how can big media sell advertising against them if you can’t corner them in front of any single device?

Dauman hinted at the problem, but he didn’t address it head on when he said some viewers are migrating from broadcast networks to cable channels, but “the trend did not benefit some of our networks that cater to younger demographics.” The key takeaway: Young people have left, and they’re not coming back.

“It’s a bit of a challenge to dominate that demo because of their technological proficiency and their willingness and excitement to embrace new [technologies],” says James Goss, an analyst at Barrington Research. “MTV has tried to respond by improving programming to create a little buzz, but nevertheless, it’s a greater challenge. [MTV and VH1] remain a central part of the business, and [Viacom] is trying to do something about it.”   

Question: 

How should the Church be using technology to communicate/engage/interact with culture??

How many years is the Church behind the learning curve???


OLYMPICS

Got sucked into the Olympics AGAIN! 
Enjoyed watching Michael Phelps! 
Found my self screaming at the T.V. for Dana Torres!  41 years old!
Then last night brought me back to reality and why I hate the Olympics...POLITICS! 
Our lady gymnists got robbed! 
Enjoy Michael Phelps while you can....feel good about being an American...but trust me there's more rip offs to come. 

SUNDAY NIGHT MIND DUMP

  • Well, Summer is over!  Attendance was up.  Pretty good day! 
  • OLD SCHOOL is turning out to be a great series!
  • Pre-service was CRAZY. Couldn’t get video camera to work.  Lost the song list.  Lonnie got it working by service time.  GREAT job! 
  • Message was a little different. Talked about why God has blessed us with so much.  Money doesn't lend itself to a whole lot of amen's. Tootsie Rolls rocked!
  • AIM performed their Holy Spirit human video. Wow! 
  • I'm not a big AG Fine Arts guy but Keely DiSalvo has some National talent! 
  • I heard KIDUP was INSANE with kids today! That would be a great area to get plugged in if you aren’t already serving (hint, hint)
  • Can you believe it is almost time for football? In case you didn't know it, Ohio State is #2.  Deal with it.
  • I’m a sucker for the Olympics!!!!!!!
  • CRAZY busy week but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
  • I’m out.
