Let's Discuss... Global Village

The global village is an idea that was developed by Marshall McLuhan. It suggests that the world is becoming smaller, not because of travel but because of TV and radio. You can know what happens on the other side of the planet. But now, with the creation of the Internet and social media, we have taken one step further...

Has social media changed our world and made it smaller than a village? Is world getting smaller in the internet generation?

Is Global Village the place you want to live in? Do you want to live in the place where every one is in the life of everyone?

Can we take advantage if the global village?
