    Every technological change generates social, political and economic changes. Hence, it is logical that different belief and political ideologies, as well as economic systems, take different ways to manage technology according to their particular goals.

    First, in the field of religion, for example, many Orthodox Jews don't use electricity or any other kind of technological devices during Sabbath - Saturday-, since it is a day devoted to rest.

    Second, another example in the field of government and politics can be seen today in modern China. In this country there are many laws and administrative regulations towards the use of the internet, blocking websites content and monitoring and controlling individuals' access to the internet. The internet allows people to communicate, to transfer big amounts of information and to organize collective actions with political goals. Since the political system in China is completely centralized around the Communist party in government, communication and information technology devices like the internet could be used against the government threatening its stability.

    Third, the economy is completely interrelated with technology. At a first approach, the wealthier a country is the easier it is for its people to have access to new technologies, while, on the other hand, very poor countries cannot grant access to basic technological needs like a stable electricity network.

    Finally, we can say that today's economy depends completely on sophisticated technology. A global free market depends entirely on internet algorithms that have information of millions of consumers, thus the use of social networks is encouraged in order to make advertisements and products that meet the need and tastes of the big public.
