Globalization is the direct result of the many innovations that have taken place in the field of communications. Before the invention of the telephone, it was unimaginable that one should ever manage to speak with somebody even twenty miles away. In the world of today, we can't even bring ourselves to envisage what life would be like if we could not speak across oceans and continents. Some time ago a telephone was attached to a wall and could move only as far as the telephone cord. Today, even in our homes we are able to converse about about the weather and everything else under the sun from not just the drawing rooms, but also from the kitchen, the bathroom, the attic, or any other place you can envisage. Such were the advantages of having a cordless phone. There was a time when the car phone was seen as being a major advance. Who would have imagined that there would come a time when you could talk while you were cruising along from one place to another. Yet, even with cordless phones and car phones, we continued to be connected to something – in this case, the house and the car respectively. Then the big boom happened! We saw the invention of something that would lead to revolutionary changes in the way in which the world carried out its communication. The age of the mobile phone had now begun. Certainly, one really could not compare this period with the one when letters had to be posted whenever some message of great importance was involved. Back in the days when post was the only way to communicate quickly, one could never have imagined getting quick replies. But now, as mobile phones continue to reign over our lives, the buzzword is instant communication. We are the children of the communication era, and are able to notice the rise of newer and newer modes of communication. And the best representative of this era of the global village is the mobile phone. We are no longer tied down by telephone cords. We are able to talk to our near and dear ones, our colleagues and mentors, and whoever else we would like to while we keep moving around. Gone are the days of memorizing important phone numbers. We have passed the days of looking for a pay phone if we want to make a call. If we need to make a call today, all we have to do is reach into our pockets, take out our mobile phones and dial!
