Why is it important?
A snapshot of a period when technology opened up exciting possibilities, when it kept changing under our feet, it did not always work, and the promise of what it might do was a frustratingly expanding horizon.
Perspectives
Although many of the links to sites referenced in the article no longer function, I think the article has value as a snap shot of the state of things in a rapidly changing situation. A fresh telling of the story, say from 1990 through to 2010 is needed as a case study of technology and Christian mission as part of the other shifts in world christianity then and since.
