Answer 1

The technologies of the information age are international in nature.

Explanation:

The technologies of the information age are by their nature transnational. Mobile phones, satellite television and the Internet operate regardless of borders. This has facilitated the growth of transborder groups, bodies and institutions, ranging from nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) and transnational corporations (TNCs) to international criminal and terrorist organisations.
