Is modern technology creating a single world culture?

Since the Industrial Revolution, the developed countries have invented a variety of instruments that speeded up people's daily life dramatically. Among those high technology inventions that specially influence people's views and minds, the Internet is typical and crucial. We are well acknowledged that while people with distinctive cultures benefiting from the Internet, their cultures have also been melted into the pool of western culture, therefor it is undeniable/ there is no exaggeration to say that, the Internet, on behalf of/representing modern technology, is creating/fostering a single world culture----the western culture.

The Internet creates a single world culture by advocating western cultures on and on, therefore any Internet users are surrounded by it and influenced by it. In the Internet, the power of the mainstream is multiplied. For instance, nowadays, we have more than 1billion Internet users among the world, but the majority of them with different culture backgrouds tend to watch American movies or British movies instead of movies produced by Spain, India or China, whose cultures are also unique. Many friends around me are just as I've mentioned. They can list many soup operas from the US, from friends, gossip girls to prison break, but they have no sufficient spare time enough to pay attention to native movies and soup operas. The social values and glories of western countries are therefore familiar by the audience and accepted by them. Since most of the Internet users are the youth, I believe the influence caused by westernization will show its shape in the coming future.

On the other hand, the wordless counterparts will be continuously ignored or be talked passively. Let's take a look at the land of Africa. Do we learn evidently more about African cultures more than previously? Even though, are these pieces of information been provided by the African themselves? Virtually, the access to the Internet haven't been increased a lot for the people there. Therefore, they are ignored by the majority, or they are spoken by the great powers. Will the unique cultures of every tribes of Africa be harder to survive? The answer maybe yes, since those who should take care of this issue in the future are now busy watching western movies and shaped into a western mind.

In brief, although the Internet and other modern technologies are only media to broadcast cultures, and it seems that every nation can find its own way out in the Internet, it just augments the loud to become louder and the weak to become weaker. Therefore, people should create a critical way of thinking and remain the cultural diversity as possible as they can.
