The speeding up of life in many areas such as travel and communication has negative effects on society at all levels-individual,national and global.

The IT revolution and faster means of travel have affected society at all levels. I diagree that all these effects are negative. The society has also benefitted enormously from this speeding up of life, Which in other words we can say globalization. At the individual level, there are more choices, more opportunities to travel, better job prospects and more awareness and tolerance of other cultures. Due to better communication, people are connected with their near and dear ones and distances are no longer a barrier. There has been a fall in face to face communication but the social network of friends that the young generation of today has far more than ever before in the history of mankind. At the national level, countries are getting closer and the boundaries are disappearing. Because of this fast era of today, nations are developing strong bonds, and doing succesful trade with each other. The rich nations are opening Multinational Companies in developing countries and thus providing job opportunities to millions. This is narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor. The people working in such companies are underpaid, but it is definitely that being unemployed. Because of this the economies of the poor countries are improving. At the global level, nations are joining hands to fight evils such as poverty, disease, terrorism and also global warming. Many countries have taken steps towards sustainable development, which means that they are improving the quality of life without compromising that of the future generations. In conclusion the accelerated pace of life has both negative as well as positive effects. However, the positive effects are much more than the negative effects.
