VoxBrief - November 2011 - Technology: Why Did Christians Develop It?
TECHNOLOGY: WHY DID CHRISTIANS DEVELOP IT? Condensed from chapter 7 of Vishal Mangalwadi's book: The Book That Made Your World, Thomas Nelson, 2011.
When I visited Jinja, Uganda in 2000, I stayed on the shores of Lake Victoria - the world's second largest freshwater lake. Observing hundreds of women and children hauling water on their heads, I was struck by a puzzling question: Why were women staying near an abundant source of water and electrity, carrying water on their heads, morning and evening, 365 days a year?
Were they unaware of pumping technology? That couldn't be the case, becuase across the fields from my residence was an industrial complex that pumped water 2,000 homes directly from Lake Victoria.
