The LDS church has supernatural ability to organize people. During the Proposition 8 voting in California; the LDS church was critical in organizing a consortium of churches to raise public awareness, concerning Proposition 8. The key to their supernatural ability is their use of technology. Their worldwide membership is connected like no other Christian church.
The leaders of the LDS church are encouraging their congregations to be computer literate, to engage in social media, and use technology to spread the gospel. These petitions are given with a warning; don't let the technology distract from the goal.
The dichotomy of computers is that they are able to connect us across the globe, and at the same time, we can be lose ourselves in a deluge of brain numbing entertainment and worthless information. Technology presents us with a fantastic opportunity and challenge; it should not go to waste, but be weary of wasting your life away.
It's like everything in life. It has good and bad parts, and we have to learn to use the good and avoid the bad.
