Which is more important to globalization - increased communication networks or increased transportation networks.
Communication Networks (internet, phones, media)
Why some argue this is MORE important:
-
Ideas, money, and information now move instantly across the world.
-
Businesses can operate globally without being in the same place (remote work, online banking, e-commerce).
-
Social media spreads culture, trends, and political movements worldwide in seconds.
-
Global cooperation (science, medicine, climate action) depends on fast communication.
Without communication, global coordination basically stops.
Transportation (ships, planes, roads, rail)
Why others say THIS is more important:
-
Physical goods still have to move: food, clothing, electronics, medicine.
-
Global trade depends on cargo ships and air freight.
-
Tourism, migration, and face-to-face diplomacy rely on transportation.
-
Supply chains (like getting parts for phones or cars) would collapse without it.
Without transportation, globalization becomes only digital — not physical.
