Big Tech News Your Church Needs to Know About

Zack Snyder and Caleb Weidman host this episode of The Black Bar podcast. They dive into four tech-related topics relevant to churches.

First, they discuss a potential ban on DJI drones in the US. This could impact churches using drones for video production.

Next, they explore the recent YouTube copyright issue with SESAC. This temporary problem affected many church livestreams.

The conversation then shifts to Meta’s new Orion augmented reality glasses. While not yet available for purchase, they discuss potential ministry applications. However, they note that virtual reality may have more immediate uses for churches.

Lastly, they tackle Canva‘s significant price increase. This change could affect many churches using the design tool. They link this to the rising costs of AI technology, including Microsoft’s plans to use nuclear power for AI processing.

Throughout the discussion, Zack and Caleb offer practical advice for churches. They emphasize the importance of staying informed about technology trends.
