When we look back at the history of human being during the last 200 years, we will be surprised what a amazing change modern technology has brought us. Trains and planes enable us to travel to everywhere we want. Internet and televisions, mobile phones help communicate news to everyone. New technologies provide us a new standard of living, and I state that they are creating a single world culture.
Modern technology has shortened the distance between cultures, and made the world smaller. People can travel or migrate from one place to another very quickly. They see how people in other zones dress, speak and behave. The more exposure to other traditions and customs they have, the more likely they adopt those. As a result, theirown traditions and customs are replaced comprehessively.
Another development of the impact of modern technology is on creating a similar world that makes it possible for cultures to communicate with each other. When watching TV programs, searching web and chatting through the Internet, people learn about foreign cultures and try to adopt some of those as their own. The exchange of knowledge has had a great impact on their lives. The café from Brazil, the scotch from Scotland, the cigars from Cuba, the wine from France, the American music, that appear through different medias become well-known in many parts of the world, are good examples of how modern technology influences people’s life and also creates a single world culture which according to McLuhan functions like a global village..
