Calvin College January Series 2015 – Remote Live Webcast
We wake up to our iPhones and sign off to Facebook. In between, we’re texting, downloading, and streaming—inundated with information from Google, Hulu and iTunes. How do we filter all our media to discern what matters? Craig Detweiler, who has his PhD from Fuller Theological Seminary, is a professor of communication and director of the Center for Entertainment, Media, and Culture at Pepperdine University where they are asking these kinds of questions. He is also an author, award-winning filmmaker, and cultural commentator who has been featured on CNN, NPR, and in the New York Times. In his book “iGods” he interacts with major symbols of our distracted age – like Apple, Amazon, YouTube and Twitter – to investigate the impact of the technologies and cultural phenomena that drives us.
