As we have the weekend of Easter (Christians) and Passover (Jews), I wanted to reflect on some of the new technologies that are used in religion.
First - websites. There are thousands of religious oriented websites - from local churches / synagogues / other - that provide information such as time of services, staffing, other ministries, etc; then more definitive websites for groups.
Second - with more bandwidth and faster processors, you can access all kinds of podcasts - from churches, sermons, lessons, etc. You can also watch services - live or taped
Third - social networking - you can have pages and you can 'like' particular viewpoints.
Fourth - electronic communication / email / texting / discussion forums / interaction and more.
So, although some has reluctantly moved to electronic communications for religious viewpoints, others have embraced it as a significant technology.
Have you been part of a electronic / technological based religious activity? You might be in the majority!!!
