Disadvantages

• You and I are gifted beyond measure to live in an age when so much knowledge is available, but as I have previously described, people abuse this wealth of knowledge in three ways: (1) by only wishing to be acquainted with many things, (2) by turning its blessing into a curse, and (3) by wishing to know only for the sake of knowing. (You can read more about the abuse of knowledge here).

• By opening up so much knowledge to us - and presenting it at our fingertips - the Information Age allows evil to spawn and grow at an alarming rate. From the questionable to the perverted, from the dubious to the depraved, the same information can be presented to us instantly and transit the globe in moments, without allowing society time to sit back and consider the information or ideas that are offered to us.

• A whole family can now live in a single house and yet live like single people, because this Revolution breaks down many relationships and our sense of community. While we can maintain friendships in distant states and countries, it breaks down all those friendships which are not actively fostered in the digital realm. When you get on a bus or train full of people on their smartphones, it reveals this sad truth: that everyone is connected, but only to those whom they chose to connect with.

• Similarly, digital technology breaks apart our sense of political and regional community. This has been in decay for some time now, but the Information Age is tearing it apart faster than ever. The idea that we can choose our friends through social media, and stay connected with only those - without spending time with those who live and interact around us - tears down the idea that we live in a community, in a special place in the world. It tears down the idea that we need our neighbors on a political level, which prepares for the abuse of democracy.

• Finally, the digital realm encourages passivism, rather than discernment. Having information presented on a screen (as it constantly is in the Information Age) welcomes viewers to sit back, accept the message that is presented, and move on without time for reflection. While movies and media all communicate messages, digital electronics have a strange way of obscuring that fact and encouraging passive consumerism. Television has been around for some time, but only multiply the problem.
