Internet

The internet is a product of globalization as well as a catalyst. It connects computers from all over the world. In the past few years, the amount of people using the internet  has increased significantly and continues to increase. By 2010, around 22% of the world population had access to computers, there were 1 billion Google searches every day, 3 million internet users reading blogs, and 2 billion videos viewed daily on Youtube. The internet provides a cheap, easy, and fast method of communication and it has created a “global audience”. Without the internet and technology, globalization may not even be a topic of discussion. It plays a major role on how people work, expands the global knowledge, and provides a variety of ways of bringing people and cultures together. It provides a platform for countries that are thousands of miles away to communicate with one another. Works Cited
