From the Paper:

"Technological changes always cause major changes in both technological development and the societies in which they are created. For example, in The Internet Edge Mark Stefik states, ...Vivid examples form the history of the past two Hundred years include canals, railroads, automobiles and interstate highways, aviation, the telegraph, telephones, radio, television, and communication satellites-all technologies of connection that radically improved means of transportation and communication. These technologies shrink distance and bring together people of different communities and cultures (Stefik 3). The fact that many of these communication and transportation technologies have decreased the distances between people has meant that societies are becoming far more integrated".
