The Advantages of Global Communication

by Zachary Fenell

The rise of electronic communication, such as instant


messaging and email, has led to an increase of global
communication. This increase of global communication
has had a profound impact on society. In fact, society
has become more global as electronic communication has
eliminated distance as a barrier to communication. The
benefits of a global society include making the world
a smaller place, increasing business opportunities and
improving cultural education.

Makes the World a Smaller Place

While a cliché idea, the world being a small place has


become more evident with the rise of global
communication. Family members separated by distance
can stay connected with each other through electronic
communication. Computer mediated communication, like
social networking websites, even allow for long-
distance communication without having to dread
receiving an expensive long-distance phone bill.
Electronic communication helps to make the world a
smaller place by making news stories more accessible
as well, by increasing the amount of international
news people have access to.

Increases Business Opportunities

For businesses, an increase in global communication


means new business opportunities. Effective
international business communication requires an
understanding of other cultures. For example,
according to Mind Tools, an online resource for
learning business skills, in Eastern countries
establishing relationships plays an important role in
business transactions. Therefore, by developing
personal relationships with Eastern businesspeople
using electronic communication, you increase your
chances of enjoying successful business transactions
