CHRISTIANIZING THE INTERNET

CHRISTIANIZING THE INTERNET

Sometimes ago, while in church praying for the youths and children, I was telling the adults that the youths are facing new and greater challenges compared to their own experiences. The youths of today belong to the Digital Generation. The use of the Internet and other digital technologies is growing at an alarming rate in Nigeria, Africa and the world generally. Information Communication Technology has been incorporated into the curriculum of even the nursery school pupils. Admission now is done via the internet, likewise is the checking of results.

It no longer news again that the Internet has taken over every sector of life. The adults predominantly use the net to check their emails, and search for information, however, the youths go beyond that; they use the net to find and build relationships with peers and colleagues from every parts of the world.

What is also disturbing now is the role the Internet, especially, some of the social networking sites are playing in shaping the attitude of the people especially the Youths. The crises in the Middle East, North Africa, UK, etc had been traced to the activities of the youth (people) on some social network sites. I am highly convinced that the new technology had come to stay pervading all spheres of live. However, I am of the opinion, that it is high time for Christians to Christianize the Internet. We can positively influence lives, we can help shape the attitudes of the youths. There is a great need for us to bombard the net with the Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
