Isolation?
I think the part at the end of the article that asks what a digitally fluent church looks like may be slightly misplaced. As a life-long gamer, I can say from my personal experience that the appeal of video games isn't digital, it's escape. Video games are fun, and I can do them all by myself. Burying my head in them is a great way to put off real-life things that actually need to be done. A church that spreads God's word through things like web-streaming or iTunes subscriptions is one thing. But I can't think that the appeal and pull that the video game market has is one that the church would willingly embrace. It's like Betty Crocker asking marijuana dealers for advice...
I think the real question that needs to be asked is how to motivate that age group to take control of their lives in a responsible way (by letting God lead, obviously). How can we make them see that they're a large portion of the people who will be running our country in years to come, and that they need to be ready to face those challenges?
