The world is becoming so 'smaller' if you think about it. With new technology in communication, almost nothing could stay a secret for long. Information comes and goes back and fourth without restriction. There are also some benifits though, such as, in early days, it took almost years to get from 1 side of the world to the other, but now it takes a few hours with plane travel. Communication took so long, battles were fought weeks after a peace treaty was signed, now it takes 30 secconds to communitcate with everyone using a radio or phone. Travelers used to walk 15 miles a day before resting. Now we get over 300 with a car before stoping at a hotel. People used to have to work right next to their houses, now they might live 60 miles away from their workplace. In conclusion, the world is getting easier, but very 'smaller'.
