In Elder Bednar's talks "To Sweep the Earth as with a Flood" and "Things As They Really Are", he talked about the positive and negative sides of using technology. He gave examples of the many different ways that technology is used and the effects that it has on those users. There were positives, such as pre-design for temples and sharing news with family, but also negatives in meaningless relationships and past-times. While good uses will bring us up, inappropriate and improper use will only bring us down. In my (and many others') opinion, too many of us today are using technology for things other than its greatest purpose. Sharing the gospel. What could be a better use than that? Along with technology, he spoke about Easter of 2014 and the video "Because of Him" and the effect that it had. Members' posts online were shared worldwide and largely aided in the efforts of spreading the word of Christ. It was amazing to see so many examples in the video of things that were made possible because of Christ. Things from technology and freedom to spiritual advances like the Atonement and Resurrection. It made me realize that all good things really do come from God, but our use of what He gives us is what ultimately makes the difference.
