Globalization and Technology speeds up time
This illusion of us feeling the world getting smaller, mainly influence by our perceptions of speed, time and space, giving us the impression of a small place, which is indeed appeal as it is a small world. Technology, the engine that powered the integration of Nations, countries, and societies, work hand in hand with globalization. These two things empowered the simplicity of continuous speed of massive activities all over the world. These capabilities of instantly moving the people, cultures, ideas, knowledge, products and capitals, easily moving across the globe.The world wide web is a virtual image of earth right now. Just like how all web sites links to each other on the Internet, global integration of all nations, countries and societies links together to and with each others in real time. With the technological capabilities we have today, people in a faraway lands do not have to wait days or weeks to communicate with each other and exchange items. These sorts of global transactions can occur instantly, in real time.
Time speeds up faster as you get older
When I was at my young age, These three little phrases I told myself I would never speak of it. I was tired of hearing it from Older Folks in my family, repeating themselves every time they hang around chilling: “The good old times...” “Back in the days...” “When I was your age...” And the worse thing about it, they were obsessed with those phrases. Oh well, look at me now, As I am now undeniably in the category of getting into that age group, I am guilty and admit that I find myself seriously using these three phrases more often than I’d like. Is kind of unbelievable but fascinating, realizing how everything is changing so quickly, I just can’t help but chatting at these changes aloud.
The realization of time increasingly speeding up life.
I’m sure you’re aware of how it feels like the world is getting smaller and smaller as time passing by. Einstein's theory of special relativity proves that time is speeding up faster than ever, in our sense of speedy movement in relativity to the speed of earth, moon, and the sun. For the sake of simplicity, here’s the feeling I’m experiencing right now! “Back in the days"... Our human race was started from growling like a baby for the longest period of time. Then it was slowly transition into strolling at one generation, followed by a generation of walking with a purpose. Then the power walk into the jogging generation. and all of the sudden everyone runs..... ha ha! Man I can’t help it, looking at how close we are at the sprinting generation is just mind-boggling.
Self-sufficient country who is capable of handling themselves, eventually melted to interdependent global
It was not that long ago, whereas in the past some nations or societies could stand alone and be self-sufficient. Whatever situation a neighbor country is facing, good or bad is their business. No Other neighbor countries shows any concerns, worries, or fear of the situation, because nothing will affect them....”The good old days”... That’s not the case anymore nowadays! One Country’s careless actions, wrong doing, or disasters is every other countries concerns. Our world is evolving into a Nation of one, and its citizenship... Thinking of the world becoming a one nation? ...”When I was at your age...” This sounds small, and defiantly feels very small.
