The Challenge of Internet Community

Pause and think:

Can there be genuine community over the digital internet?

What kind of humans is the internet world making us?

Has the world's understanding of community been irreversibly reshaped?

Has the world become more isolated to the one infront of the computer? Or has it become more expanded since the world is now connected within a click of button? 

We have been infected by deadly viruses:

F.O.M.O (FEAR OF MISSING OUT)
-not conscious on how internet affect our institutions, emotions, judgments and level of trust.

REVERSAL (AUTHORITY, FRIENDSHIP)
-now instead of us asking our parents how to do this and that, our parents usually are the ones asking us how to do this and that especially how to use the  computer and internet. 

SLEEP WALKING OUR WAY THROUGH LIFE.
"Hold on a minute! I've heard that  before!"








Don't mistaken me - Technology is a gift from God, not all that bad unless we misuse it.

Read about Johannes Gutenberg - created Printing Press - first  to print the BIBLE. 


Samuel Morse - invented wired telegraph (What has God wrought?)


Leonard Kleinrock - invented the Internet/Mr Internet


Tim Bernes-Lee - invented the World Wide Web 


We also get to see the oldest Bible - Codex Sinaiticus through Internet.
