John Piper and Pixels vs. People

This is something I've been noodling on for a while.  We have wholeheartedly embraced social media and technology as culture without really investigating what it's doing to our communication and connectedness with each other.  I often wonder what the hidden "price tag" might be when we put pixels ahead of people. I think Piper is on to something here. Now, more than ever before, we can so easily chose to escape the pain of knowing and being known. Intimacy is is an increasingly rare commodity these days.
