Technology and the LDS Church

Since the beginning of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, its leaders have taught that improvements in medicine, transportation, communication, and other facets of our lives are blessings from God that help to advance His work. Particularly of note is the use of the computer and the internet to spread the gospel message and disperse information at an incredible rate. Others include television and satellite used to broadcast conferences and other meetings of the Church to every corner of the earth. The printing press has made scriptures and other texts of the Church available to all of its members. I agree with the leaders of the Church that all of these technological advancements are direct blessings from God and that we should use them to forward his work.
