Even in developing markets, we're seeing the growth of digital communication is proceeding at a very rapid pace.

The Internet has brought communities across the globe closer together through instant communication.

Advances in technology and the Internet have dramatically changed the way we communicate, live, and work.

Smart phones and social media expand our universe. We can connect with others or collect information easier and faster than ever.

I am still cautiously hopeful about the potential of the Internet. But it seems that the greatest revolution in communication has been hijacked by commercial values.

Yet, in spite of this world-wide system of linkages, there is, at this very moment, a general feeling that communication is breaking down everywhere, on an unparalleled scale.

I think that we live in a highly specialized, technologically advanced society. Highly developed societies tend to have very remote understandings about what underlies our prosperity.

During the past few decades, modern technology, with radio, TV, air travel, and satellites, has woven a network of communication which puts each part of the world in to almost instant contact with all the other parts.

I have this pet thing about how global communications are moving so fast now, throwing information at you, making everything available to you, and yet I feel it's leaving us more and more isolated.
