I analyse the impact Christianity has had on the practice of Information Technology. I bring to the fore how Christianity is practiced in the field of Information Technology, the current situation and what I envision. I also discuss the stereotypes and fallacies that have always been neglected since time immemorial.

People say that science is human’s invention and so God does not have sway in that realm.
Arguably science has been there before we existed. The Big Bang event which sparked the existence of the universe more than 15 billion years ago lends credence to the fact. Since then, the scientific revolution has been realized especially in the field of Information Technology. The evolution of communication between people, who are thousands of miles away from each other using cell phones, etc, speaks volumes to the power of science and technology. The internet is unequalled; it is one of the most fascinating inventions on the planet earth. The creativity, intelligence and ingenuity that are intrinsic to the internet, testify to God’s enormous wisdom.
But what does all this mean to the human race? Is it the ingenuity power in human beings or it is God in the background bettering what he created in the beginning? These are questions that linger in everyone's mind. One other blogger asserts that God is behind every door and true science discovers God in an ever increasing degree. It is in science that the nature of God is revealed. The power, ingenuity and intelligence that are evident in science revolutions explicitly define God’s nature and purpose.
However human beings have never deciphered the fact. This has hitherto made humans abuse the power of invention. For instance scientists have created viruses and malicious codes that have proved destructive. Also are software that enable e-fraud and other money laundering acts. The proliferation of pornographic web sites and electronic magazines that have crippled the moral fiber in society we live in. All these heinous acts in the name of scientific inventions have done more harm than good and contradict God’s purpose for science on earth.

Christianity, the institution that God setup for the faithful and non-destructive to his creation has played a critical role in preserving the creation, improving it and bolstering hope. Just like Christianity has permeated every facet of life, the field of science and technology is no exception. However, Information Technology pundits have argued differently. This therefore gives us the chance to unravel how Christianity can be practiced in Science and Information Technology.
Firstly, it only begins with understanding that God is the chief scientist of all the profound inventions that continue to unfold in the world today; it is God’s work through us. It therefore begins with appreciating God’s work and this helps to purge any destructive and careless feelings.
So preserving and being stewards of God’s past present and future creation is one important step in practice of Christianity in science. It also means recoiling from being selfish and destructive to creativity and allowing everyone to enjoy the goodness of science. For instance designing malicious software like viruses can be act of blasphemy, designing pornographic websites and software that help to siphon money to fraud bank accounts, are all aspects that put a blemish on God’s wonderful purpose and plan for science on earth. Christianity can be seen in that respect by not taking up deals of blasphemy like pornographic programming. Recoiling from designing websites or systems that induce morality and are not in conformity with God’s purpose of science on earth.
Dishonesty in diagnosing Information Technology related problems and fleecing people in a duplicitous manner is all condemnable.
Christianity can be seen by being honest with whatever problem in science and Information Technology, being open to people, charging what is commensurate with the work done and praying to God for wisdom.
If Christianity can lead the path of science innovations, then greater things will unfold. The spirit of honesty and stewardship coupled with creativity and intelligence can dramatically transform the science industry.
Mike Marsh says
“If your TV breaks, you can pray that it’ll spontaneously start working again, but my money would be on someone who has learned how to actually fix it based on scientific and engineering principles.”

One Science Professor said that science is a paradigm made by society to cope with the external world. And has the same value as a religion. This explicitly shows how people’s view points on science are at variance with God’s purpose.
Science involves the element of faith. The faith is in the senses and confidence in inventing and solving problems. This implies that science and faith are inextricably linked. It takes faith to believe in science and it is through science that the work of God is explicitly viewed and appreciated.
In conclusion, it is possible that Christianity can be an integral part of science and technology. This therefore promotes and encourages fair competition, honesty and genuine invention. The abuse of that power has caused more harm than good.

What is IPv6

Internet Protocol Version 6 or commonly known as "Next Generation Network" is a 128-bit TCP/IP internet architecture which is an upgrade of IPv4. The 32-bit IPv4 has been in existence for as long as internet has lived. But the internet continues to grow second by second with extraordinary leapfrogs. As a corollary, the 32-bit IPv4 addressing space has become extremely diminutive as addresses get depleted. NGN or IPv6 was invented to solve the conundrum. The benefits that come with IPv6 permeate every nook and cranny of the mobile internet. One benefit is "host multihoming". A host on a multihomed IPv6 network can carry more than one ip address. This implies the host can be reached on any of the addresses. Needless to say, this mechanism gives us an assurance of fault tolerance, resilience, load balancing, reliability and traffic engineering.
