Mormons and Technology

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has come to embrace technology, for it has helped moved forward the purposes of the Lord. The Music and the Spoken Word broadcast, for instance, has used audio and video broadcasting technology since 1929 to deliver the message of the Gospel across the nation. The Internet technology of today has been used to give the words of the apostles and prophets to the world, through videos, blogging, and audio tracks, to name a few. This technology was not found by the Church, but the Lord saw a need to proclaim His message worldwide; as such, He gave us these things to help preach the Gospel to every nation. I see this technology as useful and hope the Church (and its members) will use it to convey the Gospel message through means the Lord has provided.
