A Significant number of modern Korean churches have not hesitated to embrace new technologies. They have embraced technology at a faster rate than any other religious organizations. The unstoppable use of new technologies by Korean churches is due to the belief that they can create advanced Christian culture by adopting new technologies. However, this view of technology as a tool that can be arbitrarily useful is erroneous. This perspective has no regard for the dangers that technology can have on human society. Consequently, Korean churches have been constrained in their capacity to comprehend the impact of technology on humanity as well as to respond to social issues caused by technology. This study sheds light on how Christianity can have a voice in a technology-driven society. Initially, it aims to enhance Korean churches’ limited comprehension of technology. By referring to the study of philosophy of technology, this work elucidates the meaning of technology and also how technology affects human society. This study also examines social problems caused by technology and finally, proposes a Christian perspective on how to approach those problems. It provides practical theological responses to the impact of technology on human society and allows for reflection on the role of Christianity in this technology-driven society.
