God gave us this gift for a reason. He blessed us with all this technology that can be used to do a lot of good things in His name. I think the move toward using the New Media should have started years ago. I think they are late to the game. They can use it to answer challenges to the faith and to spread the faith. I think this can bring more good than harm.
