video jockeys - beyond video technicians

[DeanZF]

It's back again to the whole concert mentality, IMO. Entertainment, not worship or praise. Might do well in a teaching environment to enhance PowerPoint or slide type presentations. Jazz 'em up a little bit. Great maybe for the MTV or Sesame Street trained consumers of media, but it's distracting at best.



One site that Helena shared off-line with me is hard to get to work. It needs a very, very current version of QuickTime in order to play, maybe the latest Java plug-ins, too. Maybe more than that! QT & Java are both easy and safe to download, but chances are good that you're going to have to absolutely shut down your browser in order to get it to work. Maybe.



And that brings me to another pet peeve (I have so many!!): why do we have to choose this kind of "cutting edge" where people and churches who don't have it, can't afford it, don't otherwise even WANT the stuff have to have it in order to participate?



Bothersome in so many ways. IMO.
