उत्तर
The advancements in the fields of transportation and communication have made those regions accessible which were inaccessible earlier. The vast network of roadways, railways, airways, and waterways across countries has linked each nook and corner of this world with the other. Transportation and communication have reduced not only distances but also the time taken for covering these distances. The time of travel is reduced considerably due to the presence of fast means of transport like airplanes and super-fast trains. Due to communication facilities such as cellular phones, electronic mails, web cameras, and short messaging service, one can talk, see and interact with people sitting thousands of kilometers away in only a matter of seconds. The Internet provides us with not only worldwide interaction but also worldwide information. One can find details about anything and everything on the Internet. One can also access several services through the Internet; for example, reserving tickets for railways and airways. This inter-connectivity of people, services, and institutions across the world has brought the world closer and closer, making it into a kind of global society, a global village. Hence, it would be right to say that today’s world is shrinking.
