Global Communication

What is global communication?? Global Communication is the process of transmitting and receiving information on a world wide scale. This affects our everyday lives and how we see other cultures, and people. This also changes how business is run, and how people work. Globalization has been drastically increasing ever since the invention of the internet, and through our new advancements in technology.


The internet has been one of the most dramatic changes of all communication. With the invention of the internet, people have been able to send and store information with extreme ease. Along with that, people have much more availability, and they are able to see it quickly and entirely within a few seconds. With this in mind, communication of our world’s population has been increased dramatically. We are now able to share our advancements in technology without having to wait months or even years to hear about it. It also connects the users’ through blogs and other like websites. Where we can talk through the internet to one another about anything. The internet has brought forth a whole new generation of ideas and technology.

Speaking of that, with the globalization of the population, we have been able to stampede into new and advanced technologies. We are now more able to share our ideas with others and vice versa, causing a jump in our technology. Globalization has caused our advancements to haste into a new century of ideas. A few of those revolutionary ideas could entail things such as stem cell research, or more environment friendly vehicles and technology. Soon enough one thing will lead to another. Then suddenly, BAM!! We have a more efficient, and safe way to create energy through nuclear fusion or something. With the new advancement in technology we may never know.

Thus, with all of this in mind. Globalization is affecting society as a whole. With the internet paving the way for our new technology to take place, and our society changing and adapting to our new communication web. We will go head first into our future.

Hacker Quiz

On the hacker site, I learned how to properly combine sentences. I learned how to get rid of comma splices, properly place words like to or of, and what endings to use on the end of my words. (example) "Success didn't spoil me; I've always been insufferable." This is one example that helped me, I thought you used a comma here instead of this, and when I gave the wrong answer, and it corrected me, and gave me a good explanation of why I got that wrong. This site also helped me figure out where to put my punctuation in a sentence to make it correct. Such as, "Because it rained all Labor day, our picnic was rather soggy." Finally, it helped me figure out which words go where. Such as, "Christopher had an attention span shorter than that of the other students." This sentence had confused me because I thought you would have to get rid of "that of", but I was incorrect and this helped me out as well. This site is extremely helpful in toning your writing skills.
