Who thinks the following?
A Katya
B Peter
C both Katya and Peter [br] The Internet has aided globalisation.
W: OK, Peter, we need to decide about our presentation next week.
M: Er, yes, Katya. I was thinking maybe we could do something on the Internet. I’d say the Internet was really important in terms of globalisation.
W: I think anyone on the planet can get hold of all that information, and all you need is a computer, a modem and a phone line. Peter. And apparently, I was reading, the Internet and mobile telephones allow developing countries to leapfrog steps in the development of their infrastructure.
M: What does that mean?
W: Well, for example, the Philippines has a poor landline telephone system, but with a mobile phone and computer, you don’t need to use it.
M: I don’t even know anyone here who uses a computer with their mobile!
W: But in my book, the Internet has moved too far from its non-commercial roots. When it was created it was meant to be a tool for people to communicate with each other. These days it’s dominated by big business which is only interested in selling you yet more stuff. I get so much junk mail, and all those pop-ups!
M: Oh, that doesn’t bother me. I rather like to know what’s on offer.
W: The Internet could also be seen as divisive.
M: In what way?
W: Well-off countries have much greater access to the Internet and communication services in general. What we are witnessing is an information revolution and less well-off countries are getting left behind.
M: Up to a point. Yes, not everyone has, access to the Internet at home. But many places have shared communal access - some villages in Africa, for example. But on the whole, it’s such a great way of exchanging ideas.
W: Ha! I think you’ll find it’s a one-way street. The vast majority of websites are in English and western values dominate.
M: I know, I know. You think it’s a kind of cultural imperialism.
W: I think that’s a fair assessment, don’t you?
M: I think you’ve exaggerating the situation there, Katya. For me, and millions of other people, it’s just an easy way of keeping in touch with family and friends, even when you are thousands of miles away.
W: Ah, that reminds me. It’s my mum’s birthday today. I forgot to send her a card!
M: Why not send her an electronic card?
W: Great idea! Where would we be without the Internet?
