Global communication is the process of transmitting and receiving information on a world-wide scale. People have been doing it over centuries. The main reason is to get related to the outside world and people in it. This continuing process is transforming our society day after day. The way people work, think and deal with different situations is not the same any more.
However, the evolution of global communication can be linked closely to the evolution of technology. Global markets now offer the ability to produce cheaper products, access to consumers in foreign countries, new sources of finance and income, new sources of technology and access to a world of people with know-how. (Stevens, Miller & Michalski, 2000). One example of this is the internet which has altered the world drastically in the last ten years. Never has social interaction with people around the world been as easy as it is at present. Not only can a person automatically send an email to any area in the world, but they can send simultaneous copies to a variety of locations or post a message able to be retrieved by anyone with access. This and other media products are part of our everyday life by helping us to be part of everything that is happening over there!
