After going to your talk this afternoon, it got me to thinking about how this would look in the Islam culture that we have studied so far this semester, so I did some research, and this is what I have gathered. There is an iPhone app call \u201cRamadan Times\u201d which reminds the user on what time the fasting\u2019s begin, based on location. There are two sides to the story, one is they love technology because it allows them to become closer with certain prayers and allows them to connect with others around the world who share the same faith. Whereas the ones who don\u2019t want the technology in Islam are the older and more traditional people, and they say no to this because it goes against what they believe, and it is against the Islamic principle.<\/p>\n

I found this article interesting because it seemed that the younger generation was all for it, while the older generation was not a big fan. I wonder if this is the same for all world religions, I assume it would be because kids have had technology in our lives forever, we don\u2019t know a world without having a computer to \u201cGoogle It\u201d like you mentioned today in your talk.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If anyone else has a comment on technology in religion if it\u2019s a good or bad thing please respond, because I feel like this is a current topic that will be and could be in the spotlight for a while.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Until next time,<\/p>\n
