Sin and Technology

A friend told me about a woman who ran away from her husband and got back with her old boyfriend using Facebook. So is technology good or evil? Does it lead to more sin? I think that Facebook, email, chat programs, online games, cell phones, cars, restaurants, bars, even work outside the home, etc. all can lead us to having secret relationships. In the distant past, there were very few ways to meet other people outside of the home besides at church, unless you were a merchant or lived in a big city. Imagine living on a farm where you spent almost all of your time in the same area except when you and the boys brought your goods to market or when you went to church. There would be few opportunities to have any secret friends.
Now there are many opportunities for these things to happen. Is this good or bad? I have been able to keep in touch with people from my past infinitely better than I would have otherwise. I do not have to spend endless hours writing long letters and paying postage for them, and waiting a long time to get a response.
Here is the key for my wife and I. Every single email, chat, website, cell phone record, etc. is fully disclosed to each of us, and we have the passwords for each of us. This is a prior commitment that we have. Though there may be ways to get around this, it would be difficult. In the past, we have also used web trackers that told us exactly what each one was doing on the internet, though we no longer see this as necessary. I think that Facebook and email is much better than cell phones or telephones, for example, because then there actually is a record with all the information.
Also, I am able to write this blog and speak to many at once in a (fairly) clear way.
Adultery, fornication, and divorce have been going on for a long time. When there is a will, there is a way. The kind of woman who would commit adultery by going back to a previous boyfriend is the kind of woman who would commit adultery with a co-worker or a neighbor.
