With the development of modern society, hi-tech has been changing around the globe. In the same way, my hometown has been significantly dominated by hi-tech such as computers, the internet, cell phones, etc. A couple of decades ago, this was rare in Bur
ma to see computer centers, the internet or phones within the community. The majority of people were not able to own such technological items because Burma is not an industrialized country, it is an agricultural country. On the other hand, those technologies cost an arm and a leg. Particularly, only some parts of urban areas and only governmental departments could afford to use them. Though some rich people used them, they were not being widely used in the way that we use them today. As a result, people could not communicate well among themselves, and news and media were limited, particularly for the community. When I was young, I did not know what the internet was and how to use it to communicate worldwide.
Nowadays, t
he effects of increasingly globalized technological systems on my hometown have obviously changed over the last few years. Computer and internet centers can be found everywhere and most families own at least either a computer or a phone at home. Especially among the new generation, hi-tech is very vital and it helps maintain their daily communication. Furthermore, the way of living has been continuously growing, because people can experience daily the latest news and what is going on today through the internet. As a result, most of the younger generation has been influenced by both the positive and negative effects of other cultures.
One positive aspect of globalization is that people who are too attached to their nationality and tradition are getting familiar with other foreign customs and social cultures. I have seen that following popular usage of the internet, people have more opportunities to observe the media. Today having the internet at home is very common for online shopping without moving, which is very useful and helpful for busy parents who have many responsibilities for their family and it is also less time consuming. So that, I would say in general, the lifestyle and the way of thinking in my society have evidently changed due to the development of globalization in my country.
