Globalization = Interdependence
Globalization-As communication becomes more sophisticated the world seems smaller. It's exciting to consider what can be accomplished as forces combine. Each class I took at SLIM reinforced tenets of globalization.
Interdependence-Stephen R. Covey is a leadership and business guru who helps businesses increase productivity. He lauds interdependence as the ideal. Interdependence is greater than independence and draws on collective wisdom. It can result in achievement far greater than any single effort.
ICTs and the GII-Information communication technology (ICT) includes radios, televisions, cable, satellite, the Internet, cell phones, landlines, email, and any other communication or information transfer or storage device. ICTs directly affect a country's wealth. Unless modern nations take the initiative to help states develop their ICTs, the countries may never be able to catch up. This disparity is known as the digital divide. ICTs together form the global information infrastructure (GII). The GII can unite the world like nothing else. A strong GII can produce prosperity.
