Recently the Internet impact has become so great that it could considerably change the image of the whole world.

While the fact that this population size represents a little more than 16% of the estimated global population could give the impression that the internets impact has been relative narrow in scope, this impression would be decidedly inaccurate. While the percentage of population permeation is relatively low, this permeation spans all six populated continents and represents a communicative and interactive connection between people and places which was previously unimagined. Additionally, it cannot reasonably be assumed that even that percentage of the population who does not actively engage in internet usage is not significantly impacted by the internets current and emerging presence. It can only be logically assumed that internet usage statistics will only increase with the advance of technology and the coinciding increased availability of mature technologys such as simple internet access, leading to an increased connection and communicative ability on a global scale.
Consequently, it can be stated that yes, the world is assuredly moving towards Marshall McLuhans vision of a world where time and space impediments are increasingly irrelevant to global cultural and personal communication and interaction. Simply relying on an examination of the massive implications of the internet alone, without measuring the continued influences of television and other relevant vehicles of mass media, it is clearly evident that todays world is growing ever closer to the quintessential definition of the global village.
The Internet has actually become human medium at global scale, its price and distance are becoming more affordable and acceptable for ordinary people around the world who could really share their worlds, cultures, origins and create new relationships.

 10 things you should be monitoring on your website
