Future of Information Access

It amazes me how quickly I can find information. If I need directions..Google maps. If I need recipes...Paula Deans website. If I need retail therapy...online shopping at Forever 21. There are an infinite amount of benefits the internet will offer you, and technology is advancing everyday. I can not imagine my life without the internet. Many countries referred to as the "Global South" such as Africa and Latin American have not yet been globalized. We are working toward a globalized world, which will allow everyone to communicate and interact. Not only will the spread of internet help communication, but it will also have an impact on the economies of these different countries. By opening up internet connections to Global South countries, we are nearly tripling the information that can be found online. This will increase our job market and competition, which will lower prices for consumers. 10 years from now I see every country in the world having complete internet access, along with strong relations between countries. To learn more about the Global South visit this website. http://www1.american.edu/academic.depts/acainst/cgs/about.html
