  1. Technology and Globalization By: Nick Tully, John Clayton, and Mitchel McNees

  2. Overview of the Issue • Technology is useful for individual countries to become connected with other countries in mutually beneficial relationships. • Governments from all countries can use technology to stay in touch with each other.

  3. Positive Effects • Speeds up processes in the gov’t. • Makes governments more efficient. • Keeps countries connected. • Helps advance poorer or newer countries. • Makes it easier to solve difficult decisions.

  4. Negative Effects • Technology is not evenly dispersed around the globe • If technology fails it can disrupt communications in some places.

  5. Two Open-Answered Questions • In what ways can we help other countries expand in technology to help globalization? • How has it enhanced the way that companies do business?

  6. Thought Provoking Piece of Text Developments in transport technology have played a major role in globalization. Over 100 years ago, the Industrial Revolution changed the nature of transport with the invention of the steam engine and the combustion engine. Since then, technological development in the transportation industry has affected transformation in road, rail, sea and air travel. Transport for personal use has improved dramatically. Cars are now built to be faster, safer, more fuel efficient and therefore cheaper to run, as well as being more environmentally friendly and costing less to purchase. Airline transport has also enabled the expansion of tourism and trade across continents. Although passenger planes only began to move groups of people around half a century ago, they have dramatically improved within that time. Airline travel has not only become more affordable in the last 20 years but it has also become faster. In the mid-1930s, eleven people could fit into an aircraft on a flight from London to Bangkok which took eight days. In 2002, almost 400 passengers could take the same journey in just ten hours.

  7. We Believe that…… • Globalization is beneficial to both smaller and larger countries. Smaller countries are brought up to higher standards and are given better technology than they may already have and more advanced countries gain friends and revenue from the built up areas.

  8. Other Interesting Facts • Dubai used to be one of the least technologically advanced areas in the world and is now a leader in technology as well as one of the richest places in the world.
