Nikes, Ipods, Popes and Bodies
Alvin Toffler and Marshall McLuhan prepared us long ago (the 1960s...how's that for long ago?)
for the days we have entered: thechnology morphing into all aspects of daily life; especially into our bodies. (see my "Bluetooth Church").
Many implications as technology merges
into our church bodies...and The Body.
I just heard about the IPOD-Nike Sport kit; it's a shoe? it's an IPOd? It choreographs songs on your IPOD playlist to your running movements. Read all about it here and here.
Since the pope has an IPOD (likely not the IPOD-Nike...yet), that alone cliches that all this is a sign of the times.
