According to a new wireless industry survey, for the first time in history mobile phones outnumber the number of people in the United States. The infographic below reveals the impact of cell phones on college students. It puts the Church at a crossroad: to leave students alone in making the right choices in the always-on wireless world or to offer them guidance.

We see the opportunity for churches to help Students 2.0:

• Understand that technology has not changed the distinction between right and wrong.
• Apply traditional ethics and morality to the ethical dilemmas coming with an ever-more-electronic future.
• Bridge the gap between communicating with people and connecting with them.
• Develop spiritual habits and purposefulness using the Web, social networking, and text messaging.
• Identify and address exposed areas of personal weakness.

Question: What other opportunities do you see?
