Technology effect
In the article Cybergrace: The Search for God in the Digital World,± Jennifer Cobb wonders if a collective and self-reflective intelligence, God± isn't embodying itself in cyberspace. She observes the God-like nature that humans may gain in cyberspace and warns that we must proceed with caution. To me, the only thing I could think about with technology is it's ability to make almost anything possible such as, genetic engineering, nanotechnology, robotics, and increasing computer power, decreasing computer size. In last decades, the modern technology industry relies very explicitly on faith that the software will work, that the demo won't crash, and that the market will keep going up. Technology is technology; it is a means for communication and transportation over space, and nothing more.Technology that plays a significant role in all aspects of my life today, for example a computer, allows me to use technology benefits me by enhancing my learning capabilities and development in my college education. As a future engineer, the technology makes our life much easier, and it can be a powerful tool for educational use.

When she points out that the word for religion comes from the Latin for "to connect," it's a reminder how interactive prayer and ritual are, and how creative and profound the world of technology can be. Mostly I've been interested in scientific and technical ideas and in discovering and inventing new things in science. Computers are part of the evolution of people,±(160) suggests Jennifer Cobb. Cobb's logic is really hard to follow. I think that some of my current behavior and reliance on technology can be altered in a way that will benefit my personal and professional experience and development. ± Cobb, like many others sees the Internet as perhaps being the noosphere± as the divine energy that can help us reconnect with the planet, each other, and God. She is concerned with what she calls the evolution of an evolving mind call the noosphere. Technology has had a profound impact on my daily life and has aided in the development of both my personal and professional skills and capabilities. "(160) She proceeds toward an in-depth discussion of the nature of divinity.
