Technology is literally everywhere in our homes and the pace of technological change has outstripped our ability to develop enough wisdom to handle it. We are stuffing our lives with technology’s new promises, with no clear sense of whether technology will help or harm us and our children. In this interview, Andy Crouch, author of The Tech-Wise Family explains why it is so important to keep technology in its proper place in our homes and how to keep it from stunting our growth in the things that really matter—building character, wisdom, and courage in ourselves and in our children.
