I Agree with Gordin’s opinion that due to the globalization, the world is becoming more and more unpredictable.

I Agree with Gordin’s opinion that due to the globalization, the world is becoming more and more unpredictable. With technology growing rapidly every single day, it is hard to tell where we would stand in 20 years. The technology we have today will be ancient just like when we look back 20 years.

But I would like to point out that globalization will bundle us together to make the world a better place. Globalization is a great thing to happen. Today, we see countries working together to achieve the same goal. One country can learn from another to avoid past mistakes and to use past experiences; they can share the resources and grow together. The future is in our hands and we have to bundle together and work together to make it glow.

Jul 25 2011: I completely agree with the opinions expressed by Ian Goldin in this video. Globalization has made paradigm shifts in all facets of human life. The reason behind these changes was definitely a quantum leap in technology. The development of technology is going to be much faster in the years to come. Whatever we have achieved from Stone Age was achieved in the last decade of 20th century. Along with this progress lot of complexities also arose. The inequalities between countries or people have increased and the complexity of situations has created a unique “web”. Something wrong happening in one place will create a massive explosion somewhere else!! We are famous for wrong predictions because we don’t work together as a society. Still we are in separated compartments based on culture, religion, nationality etc., the world is progressing on the flying feathers of technology, and if we work together we will create a heaven, else, destroy all. “Either this will be the best century or worst century”, his words are so true. So let us act together NOW, for a lively and happy future.

Still, I am keen on Marx’s observation on means of production and organisation of society. How the change in technology will make an evolution in the organisation of society? We have to wait and see…..
