How did new technology create a “global village?"

It enabled large, international companies to gain control of local artists producing books, music, and movies.

It allowed rapid communications and exchange of music, television shows, and more throughout the world.

It empowered local artists (musicians, writers, actors) to dominate their home markets.

It allowed Western companies that made television and movies to impose Western culture on the rest of the world.

It allowed for the spread of information and ideas across borders, connecting people from different countries and cultures. This created a sense of interconnectedness and unity among people around the world, hence the concept of a "global village." The internet, social media, and advancements in communication technology have played key roles in creating this global village by breaking down barriers and connecting people from all corners of the world.
