On average an American spends 36,900 seconds consuming media. Do a bit of math and that's about 11 hours per day. A little more math to factor in your recommended 8 hours of sleep every night, and that leaves you with only 5 hours of your day that's media free. The statistics prove that technology use is addictive and excessive. The questions surrounding this all center on how it's affecting our mental, physical, and spiritual health. So how can you set better technological boundaries for yourself? How can you use your technology with purpose? Redeeming Technology is a unique collaboration between a pastor, Rev. A. Trevor Sutton, and a board-certified psychiatrist, Dr. Brian Smith, to help you develop a healthier, faith-based use of technology. Moving between Scripture and psychological research, this book will show you how to navigate a vast digital world while keeping Christ at the center of it all.

Understanding the Internet and the digital environment is no longer a matter of choice. Do not hide behind the idea that it is possible to do marketing without the Internet. Don't make a mistake, thinking that just creating a website solves your problems. As the Sphinx would say: the wrong answer.As you become aware of the importance of the Internet in your marketing strategy and your business, you still have to decipher the riddle, for which without a correct response you do not enter the palace, that is, you do not enter the Internet.When you hear about digital marketing, online advertising, web marketing, mobile marketing, inbound marketing, or any other similarly creative names used to describe this, we are talking about effectively using digital technologies as marketing tools, involving communication, advertising, and the whole arsenal of strategies and concepts already known in marketing theory.And when we talk about marketing, make no mistake, we are also talking about sales, attracting new customers, maintaining customer loyalty, and ultimately doing business. As some companies divide the marketing and sales areas into two departments, many people end up creating the misconception that they are two distinct things when in fact, sales are a part of marketing. It is one of its products, but not the only one. Selling profitably, fostering customer loyalty, expanding the business and valuing the brand in the market - these are all functions of marketing. Effectively using digital technologies as marketing tools means taking action, creating an active marketing strategy, ensuring that it is executed and that its results are effective. It is not enough to act like the man who meets with a friend and asks them: 'what will the weather be like today?' to which the friend responds: 'ask me again at the end of the day.'Doing anything and waiting for the result to then think about whether the strategy was good was the behavior adopted in the early days of the Internet, and what caused the dot-com bubble burst in the 2000s. Today some theorists call it "failing fast" and try to convince us that this is the right way. I do not think so. Creating new experiences and being innovative is important, and they may be one of your business strategies, but the hope is not a strategy. Your planning must be coherent, consistent and based on an effective model, and can also be complemented with experimental and innovative actions.
