Information Technology directly affects Globalization

Hey everyone! It's Jose.


Well, I'm attempting to study technology and globalization. So, we shall begin with a quote: "In nearly every corner of the world, from Mumbai to Madrid, one cannot enter a cafĂ© or walk down the street without seeing someone talking, texting, or surfing the Internet on their cell phones, laptops or tablet PCs. Information Technology (IT) has become ubiquitous and is changing every aspect of how people live their lives." 

Technology shapes the way we live our lives, whether we want it to or not. The people around us are glued to their phones, iPads and even laptops. But this isn't just a localized phenomena, it's everywhere. "Information Technology (IT) is a driving factor in the process of globalization. ... These advances have facilitated efficiency gains in all sectors of the economy." So, pretty much globalization is affected and maybe even directed by information technology. Pretty cool eh?
