In response to C. Samuel (Globalization, Technology and Media)
Yes there are email, cell phones, internet, and skype where we sit in the comfort of our own homes, and it is evident that the world has changed drastically through globalization and technology which we refer to as 'Modernity'. Quick access of mails, messages, answer to questions, and games and movies. Before this era, neighbours used to communicate, children played games of hopscotch and rounders which are outdoor games, boys will meet on afternoons and play chess, and cards which enhance relationships as face to face contact were displayed. Even though the positives of technology is quick where emails could reach in in seconds and you could actually have face to face communication with skype, the negatives are the fact that people are locked in their own little world with their computers, children will not even listen to parents and will choose to stay locked in on the computer than to get involve outdoors to exercise and have face to face communications, exercise and fresh air with this 'Jaggernath of Modernity'. With the rise in technology, less human labor is needed as machinery has replaced human labor and workers are affected. Is there hope for improvement?
