Information Revolution
The internet to the Information Revolution is the same as the train to the industrial revolution.
The Information revolution brought about a peice of technology that has been able to contribute so much to the globalisation of the world. The internet has put everything on public domain, free for all to use, view, and update.
If the Train helped man to conquer distance, the Internet has helped man to
eliminate distance.
The Information revolution may not focus on the advances in technology and other aspects, unlike the industrail revolution, but now, it focuses inwards to concpets and improvements that can be made other than the physical production of goods and services. however, this shift has also brought about better ways to do so through things such as video conferencing, ecommerce, forum work, file sharing, email, and other ways of assing information online in the fastest and most efficient speed.
Globalisation includes making things more accesible and centralise resources for the world. The internet has done just that, by providing a public domain for the world to use. people from every country are given access to the world's information. opinions and facts are posted online, and everyone can be affected by it. the globalisation of ideas and concepts are brought about when everyone shares their ideas online.
The infromation revolution has really been able to eliminate distance. the world has no boundaries on the internet. there is no physical demarkation of the public domain, afterall, it is public.
Globalisation is most obvious on the internet. it does not have boundaries, nor does it have biasness.
