Communication Technologies

Two hundred years ago, there were no communication technologies like we have today. If there was a famine in a country, or an argument about an issue, people would not hear about it for a long time. Things could happen and few would know about it. But in today's day and age, there isn't much that goes on without the media broadcasting it. With this advantage, anyone anywhere in the world can be connected with the events taking place at any moment.
Also, with new and more developed technology, a country/area that would not able to put up telephone land lines can instead use cell phones. By putting up a few towers, these disengaged areas can now access all of the world’s knowledge via Internet, just because of the communication technologies they are using.
I, as a citizen, can respond to globalization by promoting my ideas over the Internet.
