The growing interdependence — the drawing together of the world — associated with globalization has often involved individuals and communities taking advantage of technologies. These technologies permit new constructions of social space less bound by physical location and new understandings of time. These technologies are remarkably diverse: written alphabets, the printing press, the steamship, railways, airplanes, cargo ships, the telegraph, radio, television, and more recently the Internet and digital media. Studying globalization and autonomy requires a good understanding of the role of technology in reshaping conceptions of space and time.
