Since the industrial revolution, one and one important inventions have been created. In March 1989, Tim Berners-Lee implemented the first successful communication between Hypertext Transfer Protocol clients. The most influential technology for humans today, the Internet, was created during this time. The Internet brings many new changes to human beings. The preferred view of the Internet holds that the democratization of communications will lead to the democratization of the world. In reality, the relationship between cyberspace and political liberalization is much more complex. Ian Bremmer, author of "Democracy in Cyberspace: What Technology Can and Cannot Do for Us," points out that the Internet has both side effects: it can help promote consumerism and democracy, and it can also help authoritarian government drive people's emotions. people. to what they want. However, Naomi Klein, author of “Fences of Enclosure, Windows of Possibility,” points out that the Internet helps the globalization process by destroying old fences. The old fences are those boundaries that prevent people from communicating with others in body and spirit. The disappearance of old fences harms normal people and creates discordant elements in different countries. As a matter of fact, the Internet and globalization have a double side effect. They improve the lives of individuals, but they also bring new challenges. Globalization and the Internet are breaking down borders between different countries, but they are also bringing new crises. In the past there was a “clear line” from country to country. These lines could be the Great Wall or the Berlin Wall. They separate a region or race comprehensively. However, with the process of globalization, all countries or races have to accept that the world is merging together proactively... middle of paper... they do not have the same competitiveness as Western companies. Another even more important reason is that developing countries do not spread culture in the first phase of globalization. One of the most identifiable examples is language. As European countries colonize others, they also bring their language around the world. Nowadays, a third of the world's population speaks English, 75% of television programs are in English and three-quarters of mail is written in English. Therefore, Eastern countries that have their own language cannot spread their ideas effectively. Bremmer wrote that “But of the hundreds of millions of people who blog in their own language – there are more than 75 million in China alone – the vast majority have other priorities” (43). Due to language difference, citizens of some countries cannot easily learn from others. They are playing alone.
