Why is the world called a global village ? is it really becoming a global village ?

To me , it is illogical to say that our world with large seas and wide lands is a global village .

It is a fact that you can communicate with anyone with an access to the Internet nowadays and you can watch any conceivable news station, you can share opinions and do other things...We are informed in real time about some far away disaster or war, about other humans sufferings, about terrorist acts and everything else. All said: this is a global village in which the media and the journalists are trying to bring us together as well as the scientists and the politicians...

It means we are so much in contact with each other through the Web that it was like living in a village 100 years ago.

Rapid communication over large distances and the same with transport of goods has in a economic sense created a global village. In a social sense it is a village in which, ar best no-one knows their neighbors and at worst, backstabbing and robbing your neighbors is the norm

The world is so connected these days. We're all being brought back together.

Because, like in the 007 movies, there are people who want to rule the world.

Well I don't know where you live? but I live in a distant Island in the Philippines and yet we are talking to each other via YA

Because it is filled with village idiots, called greenies, alarmists, tree huggers and warmies.

It is a euphemism for collectivism, and an attempt to manipulate you into accepting globalist, anti-democratic policies.

To me , it is illogical to say that our world with large seas and wide lands is a global village .
