The Digital Lens: How Modern Technology is Shaping Our Freedom
In today's digital age, technology is transforming every aspect of our lives, including personal freedom. From smartphones to smart homes, modern technology has become integral to our daily routines, offering convenience, connectivity, and limitless possibilities. But as we embrace the benefits of the digital world, it's essential to consider its impact on our freedom.
The impact of technology on personal freedom
Technology has undoubtedly revolutionized the way we live, work, and communicate. It has empowered individuals with unprecedented access to information and resources, enabling us to connect with people from all corners of the globe. However, this increased connectivity comes with a price. Our freedom is constantly being shaped and influenced by the technologies we use.
One of the main ways technology impacts our freedom is by collecting and analyzing our personal data. Companies and governments have access to a wealth of information about us, from our online activities to our shopping habits. This data targets advertisements, personalizes user experiences, and even makes decisions that affect our lives. While this can enhance convenience and efficiency, it raises concerns about privacy and individual autonomy.
With the rise of smart devices and the Internet of Things (IoT), our homes have become increasingly connected. From voice-activated assistants to smart thermostats, these devices offer convenience and control at our fingertips. However, they also collect data about our daily routines, habits, and preferences. This data can be used to predict our behavior and make decisions on our behalf, but it also raises questions about who has access to this information and how it is being used.
The digital world has also given rise to new forms of communication and expression. Social media platforms have become dominant in our lives, shaping our relationships, opinions, and even our sense of self. While these platforms offer opportunities for connection and self-expression, they also come with the risk of online harassment, cyberbullying, and the spread of misinformation. The constant pressure to maintain an online presence and seek validation can also impact our personal freedom and mental well-being.

7 Reasons Why I’m Launching God of The Desert Books…
Go West, Young Man!
Despite my deep disappointments in my first decade working in the publishing world, I am going to keep at it primarily because I still very much believe in the group of authors and books assembled at Liberty Island and the broader network I have developed since starting as a full-time “new media troublemaker” in 2009. I’ve met so many wonderful writers and want to offer them a platform and publishing home base where they will be respected and honored, their work cherished and celebrated.
The Death and Resurrection of Liberty Island Books
A new beginning is coming…
For the last six months Liberty Island Books has been on hiatus while the editorial team and I developed plans for a relaunch. This has taken longer than the initial weeks anticipated because on September 16, 2021 I was the victim of criminal violence which has resulted in often debilitating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder symptoms. Efforts to heal and pursue justice for the crimes committed against me have slowed down plans to begin publishing new titles. However, at this point I am ready to announce how we will move forward and the new team who will be aiding us in doing so.
Liberty Island on Hiatus While I’m in Painful Double Mourning
This is just to inform everyone that further books and website content here at Liberty Island are going to be on hiatus for the next couple weeks while I mourn the deaths of my friends Tamara Wilhite and Jack Saltzberg and figure out what I am morally required to do in response to their unexpected passings.
I am in a lot of pain, exacerbated to an unimaginable level over the weekend because of the cruelty of many people in this right-wing media movement – a cause which I have dedicated myself since 2009 at significant personal cost – who seem to believe that they are so right in their political ideology it makes them morally entitled to harass random strangers who are in mourning. I could not have expected this level of abuse from people in my own movement under these circumstances. This has been a real wake up call to me and I’m now going to have to add this new painful experience to what I must consider as I try and figure out how to move forward and what I’m going to do with the rest of my life now.
September 20, 2021 update: Liberty Island’s Associate Editor Jamie Wilson has now been promoted to Vice President and Managing Editor to assist with developing plans for moving the company forward.
March 20, 2022 update: Plans for Liberty Island moving forward have been announced here.
Finding Your Purpose
Discovering God wants you to do helps you flourish, no matter what specific tasks you’re doing.
I’ve known Mitchell Thompson just about his whole life. He’s the son of one of our pastors at Eastridge; in fact, his dad Gary was my youth minister through most of my middle and high school years.
Mitchell was a good kid growing up, and he still is. He’s always been witty and personable, and he became a championship wrestler who still wrestles in college. Above all, he has answered the call into ministry.
POEM: Looking for the Republic
We’re proud to be featuring Michael Lind’s work at Liberty Island. This is the sixth of eight poems.
David Copperfield and the Timelessness of the Classics
I finished reading Dickens’ classic, David Copperfield, for the first time and was struck by its ideas of gender equality, especially in regards to marriage. It surprised me to see Dickens’ respect towards women and the criticism of an unequal marriage in a book written in 1850. But maybe it shouldn’t have. Equality isn’t a new idea; it’s a timeless truth. The classics are considered great because of the truths they hold, so it makes sense to find true ideas, even the idea of equality, in them. Because of this, we should listen to the classics instead assuming we know better than them.
Not Your Average Faith-Based Entertainment
‘The Chosen’ is unlike anything you’ve ever seen.
If I told you I had a Christian television series to recommend to you, I wouldn’t blame you for bristling. After all, the phrase “faith-based entertainment” conjures up images of the two dozen God’s Not Dead films or the endless Left Behind reboots.
Christian movies and series have a bad reputation for a reason. They’re terrible because they sacrifice storytelling and artistry for earnest, over-simplified portrayals of faith. Shoestring budgets are the norm as well, which doesn’t help.
RIP Tamara Wilhite (1976-2021)
Tamara Wilhite passed away on August 19, 2021. She was 44 years old. Tamara served as Liberty Island’s Senior Columnist, with her longstanding weekly column running each Friday, the archive of which can be viewed here.
