Over the past three decades improved technology and media have brought about better access to communication and information for rural areas, businesses, and individual consumers. As a result, many more Americans have access to global information and viewpoints!

Examples of technological advances Cable TV/24-hour news (CNN) Personal computers Cellular phones World Wide Web All of these improve our ability to communicate and access information!

Changes in work, school & health care Telecommuting – working from home via computers Distance Learning – taking classes on-line Growth in white collar (office) careers as service industries Breakthroughs in medical research, including the development of the vaccine for polio by Dr. Jonas Salk

A “down-side”? Outsourcing and off-shoring

The vastness of the planet has shrunk due to technology- we now live in a “global community”.
