6. There is an old saying that the flutter of a butterfly’s wings on the far side of the world can affect the destiny of nations.
In the new information age in which we live, the reaction of Far Eastern financial markets to a political decision in one European country instantaneously affects world economic health. Individual countries are now, to some extent, powerless to determine their own futures. National boundaries are meaningless.
The Internet has done more to link together the world community than any other influence. It is less easily controlled than television for political and commercial purposes, and can therefore be a powerful medium for creative change.
