Deprived of personal contact, we were suddenly reliant on technology for all manner of interactions. I found myself shopping for groceries online, thankful for delivery services, which I also found online. I relied on Amazon for goods I could no longer access from closed stores, from garden supplies to puzzles to help us occupy our time. I discovered an app that would allow me to make customized cards from photos, which kept me both in touch with distant friends and out of the post office. I used face time and Zoom to meet with colleagues and keep in touch with the distant friends and family. I heard Mass via livestream and traveled the world from my living room. Although my physical world was contracting, my electronic one expanded. As a result of my efforts to educate myself and stay abreast of what was happening, I developed connections on social media with folks I had not met before on. Some of these have become valued friends, and sometimes, expert resources I might never have otherwise had access to absent Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn. In this regard, I found modern technology a blessing, introducing me to people, thoughts, ideas, experiences, and perspectives that I might not have otherwise encountered, and broadening my view of faith, medicine, and the world in general. I wasn’t alone; most folks with a computer and an Internet connection did the same. Electronic communication held us together when everything else seemed determined to keep us apart. It was a poor substitute for chats over coffee and hugs, but it was something and it mattered, and we were, by and large, glad for it. Had we any doubts, the pandemic proved that we will be fed, formed, and frustrated by electronic media for the foreseeable future. There was a dark side that became all too evident, and I wonder whether our awareness of it has something to do with the coincidence of the pandemic and the upswing in social media usage by bored and anxious people stuck more at home than in years past. That dark side stems from the very nature of social media itself. We tend to think of social media and the Internet as tools, which they certainly can be. But it is increasingly evident that the tool is not serving us so much as it is manipulating us and that has profound implications for medicine and for society at large. The Social Dilemma, a 2020 documentary/drama (Netflix) about how the Internet and social media are reshaping humans and human society, is an eyeopening must-see. Through interviews with former employees and executives of social media powerhouses and by weaving in a story that illustrates the very dangers they are discussing, The Social Dilemma brings to light a downright frightening reality: a world increasingly framed and controlled by the selling of attention of the user to corporations who manipulate it for profit through artific","PeriodicalId":505854,"journal":{"name":"The Linacre Quarterly","volume":"88 3","pages":"236-238"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/00243639211018001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39453247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most faithful and orthodox Catholic moral theologians, among whom I count myself, have concluded that their use is not intrinsically evil. Therefore, like every other decision that falls into the category of actions that are not intrinsically evil, the decision to be vaccinated with these morally controversial vaccines has to be governed by the virtue of prudence. It is a decision that calls for a wisdom that properly sees this action within the constellation of actions that propels the human agent to the heights of holiness. This is why prayer is so essential for authentic moral judgment. With prayer, we ask the Holy Spirit who is the all-prudent one to guide our actions so that we can choose and act well not only for our only well-being but for the well-being of all. Acts that are not themselves intrinsically evil are deemed virtuous or not within the narrative of the individual person's life.</p>","PeriodicalId":505854,"journal":{"name":"The Linacre Quarterly","volume":"88 3","pages":"317-320"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/00243639211017697","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39327999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
