Why is the Internet so important for globalization?
The Internet (a product of the now-ended Cold War) became the central potent global information system and this intensified globalization. Today, if the Internet were to stop operations, likely the global economy would stop as well, since that computer net is so embedded in today’s world economy.
At the end of the 20th century, the Internet was pushing the development of the Globalization Wave. This wave led to the advance of the Global economy, then to the free flow of information and capital, and in many cases, to the cross-border movement of experienced workers and executives.
Due to the almost instant success of the Internet, this Globalization Wave has been transforming intoa Global Civilization, one which penetrates almost every other contemporary civilization.

At the beginning of the 21st century, the primary emphasis in technology involves the development of computers and the digitization of searching for and making available information such as e-zines and e-books and in the digitization of production of written material. About one half of paper magazines in the United States (once at about 13,000) has been replaced by e-zines, to the dissatisfaction of readership.
