But there is not the relationship of immersion of the Synagogue and Torah readings that just can not be share with technology. Sitting in a shul and listening to Canters singing and chanting the words of blessings you can not get the full meaning or experience from computers. Drinking wine from the Kaddish cup and tasting the Sabbath Challah you can not experience through a machine. Friday night at the Sabbath table, lighting the Sabbath candles will never be replace with technology. A fatherly hug from my Rabbi can not be replaced with a machine that has no feelings. So give me the old fashion where you at Judaism any day. Internet study is okay and I can relate to it most of the time.
