The Power of Technology, Modernity, and Enhanced Communication

Religion is a very difficult topic to approach. To discuss religion, is to walk through a mine field. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and beliefs. In contemporary America, it is popular now turn from established religions or to have no religion at all. It is not difficult to believe how science and technology played a major role in contemporary religion in America by making our society secular. As our ability to attain knowledge through technology broadens, it allows people to analyze their own religion and interpret it in their own way.

One argues that today we have a crisis of belief, not a crisis of faith. To explain this crisis, I will briefly examine the relationship between faith and belief, explain why cultural shift is important to note when trying to understand religious issues, go into detail on the three hallmarks of each of the two cultures by showing how they compare to each other, show how Tillich’s notion of correlation deals with this idea of culture and a crisis of belief, and explain how Marsh’s notion of a “theology of negotiation” (33) fits with Lonergan’s definition and allows him to argue that film can help us raise theological questions.

For the past 300 years, the United States, particularly the Lutheran Churches has a long history of sending missionaries to all over the world. The missionary movement is the fruit of pietism among Lutherans in The United States. This movement transformed many communities through out the world, resulting mass conversions in Asia, Africa and Latin America. As times have changed, there has been a huge paradigm shift in mission and Evangelism in modern times among Lutherans here in the United States. There is growing absence of spiritualness among Christians and non Christians alike. It is ironic that many Christian are moving away from Christian spirituality. However, there is eagerness to not only be connected with one another but to also connect with life in solar system and in the Universe. Every person believes in something and therefore labels that as spirituality, which is often practiced in various ways.

The last few decades, technology have made so much progress that today humans are allowed to do things that never even crossed their mind, modifying the plants and animals and all that progress is for the benefit of people. Technology has made a great impact in business, communication, education, healthcare, etc. Today in the healthcare, medical research has become extremely advanced, and every disease seemingly has a cure or at least a prevention; it has advanced with the discovery of many drugs and medications that have helped prevent many deadly diseases and disorders at also has developed with medical techniques that can help cure many diseases. A revolutionary genome-editing tool known as CRISPR- Cas9 is based on something that bacteria do naturally. About a decade ago, scientists realized that bacterial cells possess a defense system that recognizes and chops up the DNA of invading viruses. This revolutionary genome tool could be able to eliminate cancer, malaria, cure blindness, edit human, etc. According to crazy-things-we-can-do-with-crispr-cas9 published by Jay Bennett on Jan 26, 2016, people are already using the tool to make changes in organisms that could revolutionize agriculture, lead to new treatments for diseases with no cure, or even modify human embryos.

Summary: this is a 6-page paper on the effects of technology and the WWW on culture, human and organizational values and communication.

The world in today, a concept of ‘global village’, that mean in the earth are no nation or group have suggested by Samovar & Porter (1991). Something happen in a part of world and the other part of the world will know immediately, such as in 14th November, 2015, ISIS have been attack Paris and over 140 people get kill by terrorists, and in the next hour whole the world news are putting this on steam, also some of the country change the color of their main building to blue, white and red and produce the message of support Paris. From the transport make us go to anywhere easily, world become smaller and smaller, we can be more easily to communication with someone who are from other country or have different culture background. Even technology is good for communication, Castells (1996) have pointed out internet appear changed the whole world of mobile communication, to create a new form of migration of “network society, which change the people relationship and living in long distance, and there are two forces were reshaped the social life in the world, the virtual online society and mobile communication technology are affecting the development of the way of human communication. But in somewhere you never been, also in some moment is hard to communication with someone who did not have same language or they even do not want to help you, face to face communication can be more easy to know emotion of the people to know what they feel even you cannot communication through the

According to Merriam-Webster, the definition of “networking” is, “the exchange of information or services among individuals, groups, or institutions” and the definition of “network” is, “a group of people or organizations that are closely connected and that work with each other.” In the Information Age, infrastructure and technology has been created to allow the rapid sharing of information between parties, but it has not always been so. While the exchanging of information has always been consistent, the methods by which this task has been carried out is constantly changing relative to the time period in which the demand occurs and situation causing the demand. Over this paper, we will examine the ways networking has changed the past,

The reading I will be analysing is The Humanisation of Media by Robert G Picard. Robert G Picard is a leading academic expert on media businesses and media policy. Robert is known for being the father of media economics studies. The issues he talking about overcoming the limits of mass communication. Another interesting issue he is talking about is the how technology of social media changes the way we communicate.

There tends to be an ever-pervasive trend, in the modern world, where many see science as the beginning and the end, which leaves no room for the belief in God ‘s word. Religion and science can exist side-by-side if science does not replace Christianity. This directly translates to the fact that people should not turn science into their idol, in the sense that it replaces God. The idea of coexistence between religion and science, is ideal since each entity fills in gaps of human understanding respectively, but more importantly science needs the oversight of Christian ethics to hold its hand. Otherwise, science run rampant, particularly engineering, could easily be used to allow humans to step beyond their station through transhumanism, yet human dignity as well as flourishing can be preserved by faith.

Religion has a complicated role in the world’s history. However we understand religion in our lives, it’s undeniable that religion has functioned in both the brightest and darkest spots of history. This fact has always been the most interesting aspect of religion for me as we consider the role of religion in society. Another interesting aspect of religion is its complex relationship with science. Although these two aspects may seem disparate, they overlap in two very important conversations about society and the modern world: conflict and continuums. Because of this, religion’s powerful effect on actions and religion’s relationship to science are integral to understanding the past, present, and future of society.

Throughout the recent years, there has been an increase of instant messaging, social media and internet based applications that has impacted our forms of communication. Sherry Turkle and Jenna Wortham give two very different perspectives, and outlook towards the increasing benefits and disadvantages associated with the influence that technology has had on communication. However, how the Use of Internet and Technologies is Affecting Us? We live in a world where communication and connectivity have assumed paramount importance. Now more than ever, popularity of the Internet, smartphones, and applications – particularly the ones that facilitate face-time chatting and calling between users has escalated enormously. While the advantages of communication apps are numerous, there are loopholes in this practice too. In fact, the authors claim that texting is better because it helps us to express us better, but they don't realize that texting a lot can be harm our social skills and communication, also be the cause of family isolate.

Some being cellphones, and medical devices that help with surgeries and other medical advancements that help with the quality of life, and so many changes with the world wide web. These tremendous changes have changed the internet instead of waiting minutes to access the web we now can access it within seconds; however, with all the good the comes with these changes the are a lot of bad. People are now becoming addicted to technology like it is a drug that can not put down. You can not walk into a store without seeing someone scrolling through their news feed or children watching videos on their parents smartphones. “Smart phones and other electronic devices that allow communication via Social Media have significantly impacted on many people's’ lives and the way they communicate and this might be considered beneficial or detrimental, and there are many different factors that might be deliberated before taking position on this issue. Are these changes damaging our children at the same time helping the society. Can it be causing communication problems or the loss of social interaction in itself at the same time it is helping the youth with educational issues?

Sometimes in life, we have to learn how to take a joke. In a society where making fun of a serious issue is often looked down upon, people tend to lose their sense of humor and forget about maintaining a positive mindset. Although there are situations and events that should not be made fun of, there are still minor flaws in society that should be pointed out. One of these flaws is the way technology is being used by today's generation. Our minds are becoming consumed and preoccupied by modern technology. The advancement of technology has had an enormous impact on our world. Whether it has had a positive or negative impact is debatable, however, technology has indeed changed the lives of millions of people around the world.

This is the digital age. Nearly everything that an individual encounters in life has some sort of attachment to technology. Interestingly enough, technology is defined as, “a manner of accomplishing a task especially using technical processes, methods, or knowledge,” (Merriam Webster). This attributes a task being complete via an advanced method of methodology. With that in mind, this concept of technology could be referred to as being relative to a particular time space. Therefore, this paper refers to technology as within the digital age.
