The Impact of the Rapid Development of Digital Technology, E-Business and E-Commerce on Our Perspective

The rapid development of digital technology brings about a very significant change in our way of thinking and living. Those changes can in turn bring with them positive and negative effects into our lives, very rapidly. It seems like a long time ago when using the word “globalization” in our sentences makes us look intelligent. Now, hearing someone saying it in a class gives me a secondhand embarrassment. Not because globalization itself didn’t happen, but because it happened so fast, most of us probably didn’t even realize it. The driving forces behind the globalization are the advances of transportation and communication technology, but nothing is perhaps more profound than the rapid development of the internet.
