The preterist position reduces God to man's level. It is being argued that because we can't conceive of how it could be done that therefor it won't happen. I don't believe God will need to use any of man's inventions. If God wants to appear to the entire world simultaneously it will happen.
Actually, I think you’re quite right.

You forget that the Lord Jesus took the form of a man. Would you mind telling me how a man can appear simultaneously to the whole world.
I agree, but the fact remains that the technology now exists to make both the appearing of our Lord visible at once all over the world and the worship of the beast as well.
Also, the taking of the mark (666) with chip technology, and a cashless society,(note the Visa ads), making it impossible to buy or sell without it.
Add to this, Israel back in the Land in fulfillment of prophecy (Isa.11:2) and in control of Jerusalem, and we can see the outlines of the comeing events of Revelation.
We can also throw in for good measure, the UN, the European Union and our building up Babylon (Iraq) etc.
