QUESTION 1
Explain the concept of ‘global village’ and discuss the role of
technology in facilitating human communication. (10)
Concept of ‘Global Village’: The term “global village” was
popularized by Marshall McLuhan in the 1960s to describe how
the world is interconnected and brought closer together through
the advancements in communication technology. In a global
village, geographical and cultural distances are minimized due to

, the rapid exchange of information, making it feel as though people
live in a small, interconnected community despite being
physically dispersed around the globe.
Role of Technology in Facilitating Human Communication:
1. Instant Communication:
o Description: Technology enables instantaneous

communication through various platforms like email,
messaging apps, and social media.
o Impact: This reduces the time lag in information

exchange, allowing people to stay connected and
informed regardless of their location.
2. Access to Information:
o Description: The internet provides vast amounts of

information accessible to anyone with a connection.
o Impact: People can access news, educational resources,

and entertainment from around the world, broadening
their understanding and perspectives.
3. Social Media:
o Description: Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and

Instagram allow people to share their lives and engage
with others in real-time.
o Impact: These platforms facilitate the creation of

global communities and networks based on shared
interests and values.
4. Video Conferencing:
o Description: Tools like Zoom and Skype enable face-

to-face communication without physical presence.
o Impact: This technology is crucial for remote work,

online education, and maintaining personal relationships
across distances.
