Telecommunication is “the assisted transmission of signals over a distance for the purpose of communication” (Wikipedia). It is something we take for granted, living in an age where telephones, television, radio and Internet are commonplace. Electronic transmitters have changed our ability to keep in touch - anyone can be contacted almost any time and any place - and the expression “it’s a small world” has never been truer.
In the past, remote communities and cultures were able to stay almost unchanged for centuries. But with the advent of reliable and cheap wireless communication, those living in even the far corners of the earth can access the world wide web, and with one click, be transported anywhere in the world.
The benefits of telecommunications are immediately and obviously apparent. Information on just about anything is now accessible to all, helping to improve the standard of living for those living in previously isolated communities with limited access to education. In an emergency, help can be sought, and for travelers, keeping in touch with home has never been easier.
But equally some would blame telecommunications for the beginnings of a cultural dearth, as the Americanisation of world youth slowly takes over. Local cultures and traditions can so easily be lost to the shiny world of corporate culture, which permeates film, television and the Internet.
