Our desires become corrupted, they become disordered.

Pastor Christopher Eskitt, author of our Book of the Month, disordered lies about human nature and the truth that sets us free.

Instead of being focused upon doing what God gave them to do for us, we then become curved in on ourselves and the desires are oriented towards something that is not wholesome or not healthy.

I am old enough to remember a time when there wasn't even in our imagination something like the internet.

Now it is everywhere, we depend on it.

Not only do we depend on it to do our banking, our travel, all of those things.

Virtually every activity we do in the world in our everyday lives, but we also depend on it in a very unhealthy way.

We've become dependent on this technology that in many ways has improved our lives, but in other ways have destroyed many lives.

What about a generation that is never known, life, without the internet and instant and constant connectedness?

Welcome back to issuesetc.org. I am Todd Wilken, joining us to talk about digital natives and online versus real life, Josh Pauling.

He is a classical educator, head elder, at All Saints Lutheran Church in Charlotte, North Carolina.

He is a columnist for modern reformation and salvo, and he is author of a column for salvo titled Consider John the Savage.

Josh Wilken.

Hey Todd, thanks.

What is a digital native?

A digital native is someone who has only known life since the digital revolution.

The internet just seems like a normal thing. Digital devices seem normal.

And this term is usually used in relation then to digital immigrants, those who grew up before the information age, those who have some experience before the digital revolution.

Those who have some, you might say, like a reservoir of real life experience before digitalization started to occur.

There's now this generation that you mentioned that does not remember life without the internet.
