The equation of globalization in the day and age has rapidly simplified, after Einstein’s great equation to just this easy formula:
Society + Geographical x Democratic-Culture =Technology?
Half the world has this equation and the other has no way to even understand. Is that half missing out the joys of the equation?
The last tribe to be found was this February in the Amazon, they have never seen cameras, helicopters (up close) they were completed isolated from the world and was fine with it. Knowing their culture will change at these new discoverers as they become discovered themselves. Most people believe technology comes with society, like New York Time Square where the millions of LED lights, bulbs, TV screen are there for everyone. Someone living in Long Island might not own anything about computers or big Tv screens and they have a good income.
Globalization isn’t so easily divided from 2nd to 3rd world countries but rather tribe, village, county, town and city. A fact is that everyone in the city owns technology or has good use of it. Poor parents might know that homework isn’t just about handwriting but typewriting but that city would have a library that has public use. Unlike a Kenyan village that might have one telephone or mobile between 50 people and a hospital 4 hours away; even simple globalisation of health is divided by technology. These people would be 10 years behind technology if they don’t steal it from a tourist!
The majorly about who is in power and how they decided how to use their power. Example African country Sudan has political issues and instead of giving children education or medicine for diseases they give them guns. It could be the government faults, not saying technology is the answer but you can’t just throw a rabbit a bone; give the country what they need first. The UK has the power and the population has the right because of tax to ask more from the government.
Greece has lost its touch as coliseums become clubs and togas are just white cloths. I feel because of technology the who world is becoming western, notice that those who have no contact like the Amazonian tribe are true to their culture, rather to China who is still dying to try hold on to their great culture. It has all been washed down slowly as the growth of tech continues.
Technology commences growth and as it grows, it is all about who has what! (High School all over) “You can’t have Reebok trainers you have to have the Air Max 90 Nike, if you don’t your just not cool”. It is all a branding scheme and a whirlpool of money that just becomes a vortex of electricity.
Hi-tech guys went out camping and packed over dinners.
Guy 1: We don’t really need a stove; give me gas pump and a lighter.
Guy 2: No, give me gamma rays in a box....
Guy 1: That’s the microwave, silly.
Guy 3: We might as well make a time machine and go back to the ice age and watch what they did, we could never make fire come out of wood!
Because of globalization the simplest things for people have now got complicated without the magic button.
