Key issues

The key issues with the topic, ‘Long-term implications of the increasing dependence on technical oligarchies (Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc.) on society, the economy or Christianity’ are cyber attacks, accessibility, and scam (Cheung, 2016). Today with technical oligarchies it is hard to know what is genuine and what is not, as the technology advances the more many issues arises. Technical oligarchies are helpful to the community, but they also have key issues which for some time now have not been settled.

One, Cyber attacks have affected a lot, the information owners, unlike before today once one person accesses the information the information can be disclosed to many more people without the owner permission (Fong, 2015). Today organizations have a fear of their information, and they are now forced on making regular backups and regular security changes. Cyber attacks are affecting both individuals and organizations. Second, accessibility, technical oligarchies even though they have helped many people some people are not able to access the internet hence they have not benefited. The only people who can access the technical oligarchies are those who are undercover and also at the same time to obtain them one need to have a smartphone, laptop or a computer.

Lastly, scam, the scam is a big issue with technical oligarchies because today it is hard to know which information is real and which is not. Today people do come up with any information, and they make it look real, this has brought more con-people on social media (Edelson, 2016). Many have lost a lot of money trying to do business online due to scam information. Due to wrong and false information Christians are now developing a negative attitude towards the technical oligarchies since they see it consisting of false information which is against their Christianity.
