Calvinism, Eschatology, and the New Media

Interesting idea, we should we wise with both our money and use of technology but this could also apply to everything else. We should be wise with family, job, our time, etc: Calvinism, Eschatology, and the New Media:
And so here is my central thesis: technology in all its forms is a type of wealth. The Bible contains no warnings about technology as such, but is crammed with warnings about the bias of wealth. Which way does wealth set us up? The Bible says that the wealthy are tempted to hubris, self-sufficiency, lack of concern for the poor, oppression, and the rest of that sorry lot. Wealth is a good thing, but it brings temptations. A lot of wealth is a lot of a good thing, but it brings with it a lot of temptations.
