For one thing, it has caused more people to think of a "global economy". Older communication systems barely got past the "village economy", then the postal service and Sears Roebuck allowed a breakthrough into a national economy. As AT&T and the other wire services expanded advertising, a global economy developed. The World Wide Web has made searching for products and global sales easy and cheap. FedEx and UPS (as well as the old fashioned postal service) are able to keep shipping costs to a minimum. Translation is also a key part of the new communications economy as well, as English has become the dominant language for business.

No. We're gaining new ones. I have felt at times a tangible difference in the way we socialise since the advent of the net. If you're stuck for information, e.g. you can't find a place in town, you can ask someone, or you can use the net. But there's somewhere in between. The net can fill in some of the gaps in your knowledge and people in town can complete your knowledge. They themselves might have acquired some of their knowledge from the net. So the feeling you get is "we're all better connected. I wonder if I SHOULD know something BECAUSE it's probably on the net." Do you get what I mean? It's like we don't need to ask around as much for information with our voice because it's there for all to see on the network. I.e. it's a social tool that makes socialising more efficient.

The internet was invented in 1989 by an Englishman - Sir Tim Berners Lee.\n\nHe was in the media the other day talking about the future of the internet - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/5009250.stm\n\nHis official page is here - http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/ but there's a good item from Wikipedia here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Berners-Lee\n and Time 100 here - http://www.time.com/time/time100/scientist/profile/bernerslee.html

London is a major engine of the global economy. As Europe's largest city economy, it generated $365 billion in 2004 (17% of the UK's Gross Domestic Product) although this only refers to the city proper. The economic impact of the entire London metropolitan area is far higher, year-on-year accounting for approximately 30% of the UK's GDP [10] or $642 billion (estimate) in 2004. If it were it a country, the London metropolitan area would be the 13th largest economy in the world - higher than the GDP of Australia. London is also a large financial exporter making it a large contributor to the UK's balance of payments.\n\nThe City of London is the largest financial centre in London, home to banks, brokers, insurers and legal and accounting firms. A second financial district is developing at Canary Wharf to the east of central London. This is smaller than City of London, but has equally prestigious occupants, including the global headquarters of HSBC, Reuters, Barclays and the largest law firm in the world, Clifford Chance.\n\nNon-financial business headquarters are located throughout central London. Some are in City of London, but more are located further west, in and around Mayfair, St. James's, the Strand and elsewhere. More than half of the UK's top 100 listed companies (the FTSE) are headquartered in central London, and more than 70% in London's metropolitan area. London is a leading global centre for professional services, and media and creative industries. 31% of global currency transactions occur in London, with more US Dollars traded in London than New York, and more Euros traded there than every city in Europe combined.\n\nTourism is one of the UK's largest industries, and in 2003 employed the equivalent of 350,000 full-time workers in London [11].\n\nWhile the Port of London is now only the third-largest in the United Kingdom — rather than largest in the world, as it once was — it still handles 50 million tonnes of cargo each year. The main docks are now at Tilbury, which is outside the boundary of Greater London.

All be the same-doubtful. we are, and will always be different. However, i do think everyone will hear of mcdonalds or famous people one day. Technology is expanding. Anyone who lives in developed countries or has acces to the internet will have. Progress economically will match peoples knowledge. One day, everyone won't be able to drive for a few hours without passing fast food restaurants

In mid-2004 the UK was home to 59.8 million people, of which 50.1 million lived in England. The average age was 38.6 years, an increase on 1971 when it was 34.1 years. In mid-2004 approximately one in five people in the UK were aged under 16 and one in six people were aged 65 or over.\n\nThe UK has a growing population. It grew by 280,600 people in the year to mid-2004, and the average growth per year has been 0.4 per cent since mid-2001. The UK population increased by 7.0 per cent since 1971, from 55.9 million. Growth has been faster in more recent years. Between mid-1991 and mid-2003 the population grew by an annual rate of 0.3 per cent.\n\nThe UK has an ageing population. This is the result of declines both in fertility rates and in the mortality rate. This has led to a declining proportion of the population aged under 16 and an increasing proportion aged 65 and over.\n\nIn every year since 1901, with the exception of 1976, there have been more births than deaths in the UK and the population has grown due to natural change. Until the mid-1990s, this natural increase was the main driver of population growth. Since the late 1990s, although there has still been natural increase, net international migration into the UK from abroad has been an increasingly important factor in population change.

Birmingham and Manchester are good starts. Both contributed greatly to the Industrial Revolution in GB. The Canal system was a major contributing factor.
