Global Village

When I was young I was told that the world will be a 'global village' in the decades to ahead. There will be more effective and efficient communication among people, more interaction, the advent of pluralistic societies and diversified neighborhood and thus we would be sharing the best of everyone's culture and the life would be far more better.

Now a decade ahead I don't see much progress rather see the cons of reduction in barriers of technology transfer. Today I see and hear through media more frustration, conventional and cyber-crime, technology-abuse in many parts of the world.

So either I was told was wrong or has something gone wrong?

But turning through the pages within my memory I could say I was told right but that was not put the way it was it has to be implemented. Today we really see a global village with a proper internet connectivity in most part of the Pakistan with means of communication through technology but there is no element of human interaction rather it is decreasing.

The traveling restrictions between nations are high which have resisted the interactions among civilizations and contradictory the technology has bought people from different civilizations together. With this media has played the role of projecting what's happening rather what is thing thus giving the image which is more visual than real.

This had led to the clash of ignorance because we as masses could not understand or even never took initiative to understand the people from other culture, religion and background and we ignored each other.
