Technology Musings on Christmas Eve

Today is Christmas Eve and I have spent it as I usually do by spending the morning up skiing. I enjoyed today much better than yesterday as more of the mountain is open to help dissipate the crowds. When the lines started getting too long, we called it quits and came home.

As I sit in front of my computer this afternoon, I find it difficult to comprehend that tomorrow will be Christmas. The day where the Christian world celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. Sometimes it seems that science or technology can often be at odds with religion. During these times I am reminded of a quote by Albert Einstein that says something along the lines of, "The more I delve into the mysteries of the Universe, the more I believe in God." Einstein was a pretty smart guy and so we might want to think about what he has said before dismissing the existence of God as easily as we do.

As you go about celebrating Christmas throughout the remainder of today and all of tomorrow, remember to keep technology in perspective. Technology is here to help us live more comfortably while Jesus Christ taught us how to live with our fellow man. Both benefit us all, but one may be just a bit more important.
