Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Modern technology is creating a single world culture. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion
------------------------------------------
I fully agree that modern technology has created single and a unique world culture. New “Information Technology” including Internet, television, electronic media, cell phones etc has a great impact on creating an identical culture all around the globe. In this essay I will elaborate my viewpoint.
First of all, Internet and e-mail have changed the way people communicate with each other. Internet has brought many benefits. It is a new means of communication, a very fast access to information and news. People communicate with each other, share their ideas and interact on business or personal matters as the need may be. People have a great opportunity to find out more about countries and their history or businesses on websites. Complete learning and teaching is being done with the help of computers. Businesses like buying / selling / trading in equities, banking, rail, road, air bookings including the business of health monitoring and medical treatment are fully taken over by computers.
Even the good old saying, “Marriages Are Made in Heaven”, has now been replaced by “Marriages Are Made on Internet”. Furthermore greeting on Christmas, New Year, Easter, New Condominiums, Baby Birth, Weddings, Anniversaries, and many more occasions are conveyed simply by sending e-cards. Conventional stationery cards are obsolete now. Similarly no one uses now bulky and fixed wall mounted or stationary telephones all those have been replaced by cell phones now. Those cell phones have all the features of a personal computer including internet access through wireless. People can anywhere at any point of time access the information they like.
In nut shell, Information Technology and Computerization has brought in a single and unique world culture.
