Bits, Bytes, and Beyond

The other day my four-year-old son saw a LP record album and with amazement exclaimed, “Dad look at that huge CD. Wow, that’s cool.”  

A few days earlier he saw a rotary phone and with confusion asked, “That’s a phone. Where are the buttons?” No doubt, a four year old can make one feel old as he unknowingly points out how much the world has changed. 

In the world of technology, evolution and invention occur at an accelerated rate, often bringing about positive change. Take for example the use of “Live Person,” a service that allows web visitors the opportunity to chat with a real person in real time. WBS is utilizing this technology on all of our web sites to help seekers navigate the study options WBS has to offer.

In the coming months, myWBS will launch a new chat mechanism for teachers and students. Students who use our new myWBS 2.0 will have the option to interact with their study helpers 24/7. This 24/7 real-time availability will extend to all students and teachers, whether postal or Internet, by midyear. 

WBS strives to connect, build, support and nurture relationships in every way possible for the cause of Christ. “Live Person” is just one of several current technologies that WBS is using to reach into the lives of people at GodSpeed.
