“Years ago even the poorest village in the “Third world” had a TV in a tree and now they have cell phones and computers”
Not true.

Have you forgotten that there are many people on this planet who have not been exposed to Christianity and never will be?

And so I answered that god can use modern technology...

Why worry about how God will get the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ out to everyone ???

God is in control...

God is quite capable of uswing modern technology to inform everyone on earth of their need for a savior, and that Savior is Jesus Christ...

God, if He wants to can speak to every heart, Himself...

and all at the same time...

I’m not about to tell God how he should do it...

I just believe he is able, and He will...

:)

Dont limit God...

The bible also says:

20For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

Romans 1:20

What does this tell us?

Every human being is guilty before God, throughout history, and today. We know God's law. We don't need the Internet, or telephones, or this or that to know we are sinful. Or that sin is wrong. Believe me, everyone knows.

The movie the End of the Spear spoke a powerful message about a remote people who knew their warlike murder was wrong, but did it anyway. They almost killed each other off entirely. But - many of them were saved by Christ.

'I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people'" (Jer. 31:33).

And this:

Jesus is the living Torah, the Law or word of God made flesh.

We know what to do. God wrote it in our hearts.

Some call is "conscious."

Well, it isn't Jimney Cricket on your shoulder. It is the Law of God written in the hearts of all human beings.

Christ even reminded us of this, the inherent law, and the overt law, of God:

"If you love me, you will obey what I command."

John 14:15

What we need to do is preach the Good News to the world. As Nana said, don't limit God.
