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

6. oligarchies since they see it consisting of false information
which is against their Christianity.

Long-term implications of the increasing dependence on
technical oligarchies (Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc.) on
society, the economy or Christianity
Oligarchies mean a small group of people who take
control of an organization. For some time now the technical
oligarchies can be said to be the world governing organizations
because they have become a necessity for communication and
research to the people (Winter, 2014). Today most people do
visit the technical oligarchies at least every day, and for some,
they are ever on technical oligarchies regularly either for
communicating or for information access. Therefore, this paper
talks about the technical oligarchies as those organizations that
are used in the world today to govern communication and
research.
I chose this topic because there has been an increasing
dependence on technical oligarchies for quite some time now,
and many people are now benefiting, thus developed an interest
to know more. Today technical oligarchies are widely used for
communication and research (Michel, 2016). Socially technical

8. oligarchies have settled the need for communication. Today
people can communicate worldwide with the help of these
technical oligarchies hence made me choose the topic to have a
deep understanding of it and know its importance.
Selecting this topic will help me more to understand the
technical oligarchies more through the weekly assignments. I
also chose this topic because I want to get a deep understanding
of how the technical oligarchies work and how they will or have
helped the country and the world at large socially and
economically. I chose this topic to help me understand how
Christians take this means of communication since I have heard
many saying that with technical oligarchies a lot of lies are
involved. Lastly, I selected this topic because I would like to
know the issues and benefits that come with technical
oligarchies and with these assignments I believe I will
understand and be able to identify the problems and benefits.
