4.9/5 (29393 ratings)

Description:Presenting religion and technology in a connected world is a challenge, because connected means linked—and so many social, technical, and economic linkages exist today. No single view tells us what is happening as Christianity and Islam enter the digital age, so the book moves between four Ms—Media, Memory, Mythology, and Mimicry.Readers find that textual media was not always holy, and that Westerners learn more spirituality from the movie theatre today. With the data explosion, we no longer face the problem of remembering—it is now forgetting. Older myths have long been stored in parks or cathedrals, as statues or paintings, but new ones are added by Hollywood or internet bloggers. As for mimicking competitors, well that is a proven business strategy, so we can hardly criticize religions for it.This general readership book swerves up and down those connected alleyways, making sense of current and bygone tales. You see, half of the planet is registered under these two faith brands, and they’re being herded into an information technology society whether they want it or not. A lot of that process is hurtful, which partly explains why some believers hurt others.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging. And by having access to our ebooks online or by storing it on your computer, you have convenient answers with The Bishop, the Mullah, and the Smartphone.
