Technology has also contributed to the breakdown of community, says Mr. Sweet. We can order up our own choice of television program almost at will, or microwave our own dinner. We can work alone, eat alone, recreate alone and participate in a religious service vicariously on television. Because community has broken down, in the workplace, in religion, in universities, and even in the family, we get few challenges to our actions. He says our innate consciences are still alive, however.
People get confused.
And, no, there's still a moral sense. Mr. Sweet said. If I turn on my computer, I can find thousands of places that provide spiritual enlightenment. We've lost all these anchors. Therefore religious belief has changed.
