Lab Exercise #1: Technology and Globalization

(1) I agree with the first view of globalizatin and technology which says that globalization is a uniform unambigously structured and self-contained pattern in progress towards full realization and harmonious integration. I feel that technology and globalization go hand in hand, and that most innovations in technology eventually go global.

(2) "Information Technology (IT) is a driving factor in the process of globalization. Improvements in the early 1990s in computer hardware, software, and telecommunications have caused widespread improvements in access to information and economic potential. " from the article INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND GLOBALIZATION, found on http://www.globalenvision.org/library/7/970/

Technology and globalization work together to make advancements internationally. The technology we use helps to advance our understanding of things such as the ecoomy and world trade. With advances in technology comes further advances in globalization.

(3) From the Website: http://workinfonet.bc.ca/lmisi/Making/chapter2/TANDG5.HTM Making Career Sense of Labour Market Information:

"Globalize means to make worldwide in scope or application, and the globalization of trade means freer and more intense worldwide trade across national borders. Technology helps to make globalization possible. Because computers can be interlinked across companies, countries and continents, information is no longer weighed down by geography or time."

Globalization and technology are a pair, they go hand in hand. Technology makes the spread of information easy on the global level. In turn, globalization allows for more increases in technology by expanding the number of resources innovators can work with. Through technology and globalization, the entire world can communicate and is interconnected.
