How has world been converted into …

The global village is mostly used as a metaphor to describe the Internet and World Wide Web  People can see each other, chat and talk as if they are physically present. As far as communication and the dissemination of information is concern distance is not a concern. News travels so fast as if we are all living together in one small village. Hence, the statement that the world has become a global village is true.  Technological advancement in the developed and developing world has not spread to the underdeveloped countries. People in the underdeveloped countries are worried about their survival. Basic necessities like food, water and shelter are the top most priority in these places. In this regard the statement that the world has become a global village is not true. In some parts of the world electricity is not there even today. Internet, television and latest technological developments have not reached people in these remote places.
