In this article from the Los Angeles Times, a recent study finds

that a large majority of the 12- to 24-year-olds surveyed are bored with their entertainment choices some or most of the time, and a substantial minority think that even in a kajillion-channel universe, they don't have nearly enough options.

other interesting points in the article include:

a surprisingly high number of teenage boys (58%) and even more teenage girls (74%) said they were offended by material they felt disrespected women and girls.

and:

A signature trait of those surveyed is a predilection for doing several things at the same time, with a majority of females in every age group and males from 15 to 17 and 21 to 24 saying they prefer to multi-task rather than to do one thing at a time.

After you've read the whole article, including the answers to the survey questions (fascinating!) I have some questions for you.

How can the church possibly keep up with the multi-tasking generation? Should it have to? What can we offer that will keep people's interest? Should we worry about it? How does an objection to material that disrespects women and girls fit into our culture as Christians? How can we respond to that offense from inside pop culture as people of faith? Is the church in danger of being irrelevant? Is being irrelevant even possible?
