A major contributor to globalisation has been the rise in digital technologies which has aided global communication. The state of the art technology we use today has both enhanced communication between those with the technology and decreased it between those who don't, causing a digital divide. "...the internet is global, democratic and somehow working as a catalyst in a move to a technological utopia." As globalisation continues we may see this digital divide increase.
