The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has benefited greatly from computers and the Internet. First, members have access to an array of wonderful church tools thanks to computers. Family history, which used to take months or even years to prepare one name to take to the temple can now be done in a few weeks. Scheduling a church building for an activity is easily done online. Scriptures are now available in digital format to allow access from computers and cell phones. Missionary work is also being blessed by the advent of the Internet. Curious people who wish to investigate the Church can visit mormon.org to learn about beliefs and practices instead of waiting for missionaries to find them. Mormon.org's recent revamp has been an extremely beneficial move for the Church. Not only is the site more interactive and more informative than its previous version, it is able to connect with member's Facebook accounts, showing investigators how real members of the Church are.
Interestingly, there have also been some negative impacts on the church. Facebook has been known to split apart marriages in some instances. These are great inventions, but used with caution
