Technology & Religion

In ancient times people got fed with agriculture. While they were feasting after the harvest, they worshipped Dionysus. The sailors needed a help in seas, so they choose Poseidon.

Then a new technology called "book", which was a quite good way to carry information emerged, the people started to believe in it. However, there were too few books and the people who can read it had the money.

Then printed press invented. So, the books spredt. People started to say things like 'I think therefore I am.' This was the time, people started to worship information and science.

In the last two decades, computers began to invade all of our areas of life. That was too intense that, even some of the people began to think that the universe is some tough software.

In today, from an individual level to nations. There is only one thing left to believe: economic growth. This is now, our age. Our god is growth: gain more money, develop good income methods, institutions.

To sum up, what you believe is often related to what you do, what products or services that you use. If you satisfied with foods from harvest you believe Dionysos. And you earn your living via computers, It is easy for you to think the world is a software.
