It is certainly evident while traveling in infrastructure-poor nations that, while running water and comfortable living spaces are rare, the mobile phone is ubiquitous. Internet cafes are available almost everywhere and modern technologies seem to be welcomed much more quickly than previous western lifestyles. <br /><br />To piggyback on this week's reading by Castells,the world is moving technologically quickly and more in unison than before. "Not anything or everyone is globalized, but the global networks that structure the planet affect everything and everyone(IC Reader p38)." As representatives of the international communication community, it is important that we acknowledge Castell's notion and embrace that international communication has an important role in bringing people together.
