In Response to Sixth Sense Technology

Video Link: Sixth Sense Technology

Wow! I think the possibilities of this kind of technology are very intriguing. Very interesting. I predict that by the year 2100 we will all be walking robots, like Darth Vader ("more machine now than man").


New technology always opens the doors for incredible advances in society. As a Christian, I see that mankind continues to tap into the wonder of God's creation. God created all these things for us to discover, dissect and maximize their potential. There are deep and hidden things God has created for us to discover. It's a wonderful thing.

I think the idea of sixth sense technology taps into how communication will take place in heaven. We all have the ability to sense things we do not see. For example, you may sense the presence of someone in the room even though you do not see or hear them walk in. The senses of blind people are typically much more acute than those who can see, because they've had to rely on them more. I heard that many of the animals moved to higher ground before the tsunami took place in the Indian Ocean back in 2004. They sensed something many humans did not, just like they did in Noah's Ark in the Bible.

Because mankind has been separated from close fellowship with our Creator because of sin, I think our senses have become dull, in many ways. We do not sense or hear things (things not spoken audibly) as acutely as we should because we are so earthly minded. In heaven, I think our senses of perception will be restored to the way we were created to be. The sixth sense technology perhaps scratches the surface of what will one day be in heaven.

Unfortunately, everything man creates or discovers ultimately becomes used for evil. I can see ways in which this technology could also be exploited by evil people for evil purposes. But, that doesn't mean it should not be used and the potentials of it fully realized. It can also be used for good. Once this technology becomes more mainstream I'm sure a number of ethical concerns will arise.
