Churches Media Council New Media strand

Deflowering Internet virgins - a task for the church?

Apparently the British government wants the public to help get the nation online. At the digisymp conference there was some discussion about helping Christians to catch up with digital media. Is this a good pretext to do that? Could it even have a missional dimension?

we seem to be going all cyber at all saints with a load of rubish that looks like props from 1970's doctor who.....if any one has any computers wich work well on the internet and you dont use, or operating systems, experience etc so you can save computers from the grave yard let us know....we have a good wirless hub and the local councel is puting in a wired hub for there staff who use the building and an infomation hub and we will be able to use that too.
i want to set up an intranet type think, with all the numa dvd's and other thought provking stuff on it that can be left in the cafe and help people to explore god stuff!!
bashed up but working lap tops that could be used by kids for youth club and to develop after school homework club would be a help.
even smartphones minus sim cards wich we could conect to the wirless network could be very fab and usefull in the cafe!!!
many thanks
