IT in globalisation – Discuss.

Information and communication technology (or IT in short) has played a major role in globalisation. Production of services has spread rapidly across countries due to the growth in Information technology. Many MNCs are service based companies therefore the transfer of information is very vital to them. Computers , internet facilities, telegraph, telephones mobile phones, and fax are used to contact one another around the world, to access information instantly, and to communicate from remote areas. This has been facilitated by satellite communication devices. Internet also allows us to send instant electronic mail (e-mail) and talk (voice-mail) across the world at negligible costs.
