But is seems to me that if you are talking about globalization and the present world and how cultures and nations effect each other then e-mail is at present at least as powerful an influence as the steam boat, jet airplane, TV in the past. Just think of how France continues to lose power because we write in English on e-mail, or how certain kinds of software and programming jobs have moved to India. What happens when we all start using CD-roms, etc? What strikes me is how certain countries immediately became part of this and others did not. Taiwan, New Zealand, Israel, Germany, but not France and England has been slow. I notice that somce Indian friends I have in Canada and France use 'magic'. I am been meaning to ask them what this is. I am also struck by the egalitarian nature of e-mail. Name professors, undergraduates, journalists in different places and countries speak as equals in a way that never happens otherwise. This is all obvious but it is why I am interested in how email is starting to influence culture.
