GLOBAL VILLAGE
GLOBAL VILLAGE
Is an idea where all the people of the world will live as a single society
and provide communication and services to each other through the use of
information and communication technology. That is, the world based on
information and communication technology is called Global village.
 The term global village is closely associated with Herbert
Marshall McLuhan, the Canadian communications theorist and
literature professor hailed by many as a prophet for the 20th
century. McLuhan's mantra, "the medium is the message,"
summarized his view of the influence of television, computers,
and other electronic information sources in shaping society and
modern life.

 By 1960, he had delineated his concept of the "global village,"

and by 1970, the public had embraced the term and recognized
the idea as both exhilarating and frightening. As a 1970
Saturday Review article noted, "There are no boundaries in a
global village. All problems will become so intimate as to be
one's own....“ .
 This technology has allowed each of us to
have greater knowledge of the living
conditions of people in other countries.

 As a result, our activities and decision can

have a significant impact on many other parts
of the earth and can effect people in many
other areas of the world.
