Many PBS stations now air BBC news which is an accessible and different view
of the world.

The most stunning change in the globalization resulting from technological
innovations is that real people can actually talk to each other. One of my
attractions to email is that I can talk to people I know on a daily basis in
Japan, Australia, Germany, Ireland, etc.

No one in Afghanistan but friends in Germany or South Africa are likely to
know more about Afghanistan than I am.

And when the phones were out, mail was still working because it has so  many
alternative relay routes set up. (I don't use a phone line for email)
