Over-communication Crisis - The development of the Internet has made “distance dead” (Cairncross, 1997). Communication is instant, no respecter of distance as it spreads with the speed of the electromagnetic wave, used by computer networks and smartphones. This e-communication has benefitted business; production formerly found in developed countries has moved to Asia, with mother companies having subsidiaries and branches overseas. The Internet has resulted in economic globalization, but this is lowering the standard of living in developed countries and increasing it in the developing world. Global corporations are reaping huge profits by expanding markets into Asia and Eastern Europe, but they are impacting their home countries negatively, as demonstrated by the 99% vs. 1% “Occupy” movement in the United States.
