Deep dives
Technology in the Digital Age
The speaker discusses how the digital age is influenced by three key values: speed, choice, and individualism. The rapid advancement of technology has made people increasingly impatient and superficial due to the abundance of choices available, leading to a lack of depth in experiences. Furthermore, the internet, while connecting individuals globally, has paradoxically resulted in heightened loneliness and disconnection, fostering a hyper-individualistic society.
Artificial Intelligence and Engagement
The conversation delves into the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and the necessity to approach it with caution and awareness. Acknowledging the novelty of AI, there is uncertainty about its future implications. The speaker emphasizes the importance of maintaining human autonomy and vigilance against surrendering humanity to machines, while also highlighting the potential benefits of thoughtful engagement with AI.
Navigating Technology Post-Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic forced a heightened engagement with technology, leading to both challenges and opportunities. While acknowledging the problems that arose, the speaker highlights the positive outcome of recognizing the limits of technology. Encouraging a balance between digital and analog experiences, the speaker emphasizes the importance of tangible, embodied interactions for genuine transformation and meaningful relationships.
Jay Y Kim shares his experience as a pastor in Silicon Valley. How is technology forming us? In what ways can we help young people live fruitfully in the digital space? How do we navigate AI? Are there any tips for finding rest in the midst of the busyness? In an era of misinformation, how do we decipher what is actually true?
