Look at how mission people are using technology to help them with their job's. My Son laughs at My Wife and I saying, "You guys have all the new gadgets before the kids do now." That is not true. However, his point is valid. We have leaded to use twitter, Facebook, Skype, how to make video's and movies, and use Ipods as portable computers.
With the rise of Internet cafes the IPod, and with the love and drastic rise of cell phones in places like Africa, the IPhone has the potential to become the single most useful portable product for missionaries. Language & Translation programs etc should all have Iphone apps, Recording apps are already available, as are video & photo apps.
All helping to keep communication & information Flowing.

It's where I feel I'm at these days. “In the second half of life, it is good just to be a part of the general dance. We do not have to stand out, make defining moves, or be better than anyone else on the dance floor. Life is more participatory than assertive, and there is no need for strong or further self-definition” (Falling Upward. Richard Rohr.120).
