Coherence: Relating the Past to the Present

Global Village is a Process

It is important to see things as a gradual evolution of ideas. It helps in making the argument sound and in convincing the reader that something is a process. Global Village is a process that initiated after centuries of toil and is still progressing.

With the passage of time, the number of inventions superseded the number of discoveries as scientists uncovered most of the planet earth. With better understanding of the world comes the better ability of benefitting from what is known and is now more persuading and yielding than any political or religious ideology that ever existed. Inventions coming out one after another have completely changed the way Homo sapiens, the frog in the well, hoped to survive as the fittest; now it is the smartest. Daniel Bell (1973) gave the idea of post-industrialism: “The production of information using technology”. The post-industrial society relies on computer; digital data is saved via binary coding. From the ideogram to the signifier to the binary language, not only human ways of communication but also ways of socialization have evolved. This Information Revolution has enabled a worldwide flow of information, products and people which, resultantly, has devised the idea of a global community and a global market.
