Question

The world has now become a global village

Answer 1

Information Technology have evolved extreme rapidly in the past decades few years ago, all that you could do with a computer, was primarily make mathematical calculations and type documents, but doing that required typing in a series of complex codes that took a great deal of training to learn. Then the Apple computer company took this complex computer language and evolved it to a simpler system of computer language using words that made sense in their context. This system was called BASIC. BASIC was a major development in the compute. The IT (Information technology) is breaking through geographical barriers and distance, integrating the entire world into a cohesive village. The author concludes that while some parts that of the world fit into the description of a global village, others cannot due to unequal development and inaccessibility to technology. Whether the world will become a global village or not will depend on the political class and their international policies.

The term global village describes the phenomenon of the world becoming more interconnected as the result of the propagation of media technologies throughout the world. The term was first coined by Canadian media theorist, Marshall McLuhan and popularized in his books The Gutenberg Galaxy: The Making of Typographic Man (1962) and Understanding Media (1964)[1]. Literary scholar Sue-Im describes how the term global village has come to designate “the dominant term for expressing a global coexistence altered by transnational commerce, migration, and culture” (as cited in Poll, 2012)[2]. Economic journalist Thomas Friedman’s definition of the global village as a world “tied together into a single globalized marketplace and village” is another popular contemporary understanding of the term (as cited in Poll, 2012)
