Dynamic resonant interplay is not limited to the space of the gathered congregation. Religious practices have always occurred beyond the boundaries of congregational spaces. There is an increasing desire to move away from an understanding of congregations as discreet, bounded entities and toward an inclusion of a range of practices and interactions, both individual and communal, private and public, in the surrounding world. This chapter utilizes on-site and online ethnography in order to observe the transnational resonant assemblages set up through Internet live-streaming of prayer room music and worship. It examines the way in which sound and video carried through the cameras of the prayer room, the fibers of the Internet, and the computers and mobile devices of those tuning in set up a dynamic interplay between prayer room environments and other devotional spaces around the globe.

The Internet has transformed the way education is delivered in the 21st Century. Web-based education has been developed on the basis of the capability and potential of the Internet. The idea of Web-based education was first developed about 15 years ago from a simple form of online learning, using mainly e-mail as a form of communication and consisting of mainly text, with no multimedia. Soon after, a variety of new software and services were developed to support Web-based Education. In late 1990s, the development of new technologies for this purpose accelerated. They gradually transformed the way by which distance education was delivered. Today, it is common for both private and public educational institutions to offer Web-based courses. However, only a few virtual universities exist today with all of their courses and activities Web-based.

Information technology (IT) has a crucial role in knowledge management (KM), as the facilitator or enabler. To find the IT strategy for KM and related aspects such as the tools being utilised, and the problems faced by Indian firms, research was conducted in leading firms in three sectors of the Indian economy; namely software, pharmaceutical and petroleum marketing, covering both the private and public sectors. The results indicated that Indian firms have implemented many IT tools. The internet is the most widely used tool, whereas KM software is the least used. The way IT is growing or implemented and maintained in the firms under study is not encouraging. Barring a few software sector firms, IT tools are neither well maintained nor fully exploited by the firms. In addition, Indian firms lack an IT strategy for KM.

Recent years have seen an impressive increase in web-based research, of which we review and discuss two main types. First, researchers can create online versions of traditional questionnaires. Using the internet in this way usually does not compromise the psychometric properties of such measures, and participants are typically not less representative of the general population than those of traditional studies. Technical guidelines are provided to set up such studies, and thorny issues such as participants’ anonymity are discussed. We will also discuss issues regarding the assessment of minors and the repeated assessment of participants to assess developmental changes via the web. Second, the internet has changed the way people interact with each other. The study of the psychosocial consequences of this development is called cyberpsychology. We review emerging findings from this young discipline, with a focus on developmentally-relevant implications such as the use of the internet by adolescents to disclose personal information.

Digital natives are children who have had a significant exposure to technology, which has molded the way they interact with digital tools. Early exposure to technology like the Internet, computers, and mobile devices fundamentally changes the way digital natives learn and operate. They are highly literate with ICT (information and communication technology) and they gather information through their gadgets. This paper provides a short introduction to digital natives.

This paper is a first attempt to explore how a theology of communication might best integrate and develop reflection on the Internet and the problematic area of the so-called “information society.” It examines the way in which official Church documents on communications have attempted to deal with these issues and proposes elements for a broader framework including “media ecology,” information ethics and more active engagement with the broader social and policy debates.

Enormous Success

78 Fordham Law Review 2799 (2010)The Internet is a semicommons. Private property in servers and network links coexists with a shared communications platform. This distinctive combination both explains the Internet's enormous success and illustrates some of its recurring problems.Building on Henry Smith's theory of the semicommons in the medieval open-field system, this essay explains how the dynamic interplay between private and common uses on the Internet enables it to facilitate worldwide sharing and collaboration without collapsing under the strain of misuse. It shows that key technical features of the Internet, such as its layering of protocols and the Web's division into distinct "sites," respond to the characteristic threats of strategic behavior in a semicommons. An extended case study of the Usenet distributed messaging system shows that not all semicommons on the Internet succeed; the continued success of the Internet depends on our ability to create strong online communities that can manage and defend the infrastructure on which they rely. Private and common both have essential roles to play in that task, a lesson recognized in David Post's and Jonathan Zittrain's recent books on the Internet.
