I wasn't really understanding what I was reading in the Book of Mormon so I went back to the place I last really understood what was going on. Those chapters were the ones that talked about Nephi's vision. The one where the angel showed him our time. How difficoult would it be to compare the technology. The vast difference of the two time periods made it almost uncomparable. As I was reading I thought about how after the apostasy not much was being invented. Then, Boom Joseph Smith has his vision. He starts spreading the Gospel. Not only did the church start to grow with it grew technology. Suddenly we have all these huge inventions. Televisions, radios, computurs and so much much more. Technology can help us and hurt us. We have so much at our fingertips the good and the bad. Hopefully people will run into the good things more than the bad. Maybe someday we won't have to use technology to fight with other people. Hopefully someday the world can be at peace, but it won't happen without our help. Amen.

What a great insight Annabelle. It's amazing how technology helps the Church so much. General Conference can be broadcast all over the world. People can get on the Church web site from anywhere.
But, as you point out, Satan can use these great inventions for evil purposes too. Still, I'm grateful we have them because of all the good they can do.

Almost everything that is good can be bad if used the wrong way. Some examples are exercising, working, sleeping, eating, and playing. I think technology is the same way! Thanks for your insights and thoughts!
