Globalization is a combination of international trade, information technology, and interaction among people, companies, and governments. It effects everything including the environment, political systems, culture, and humans all around the world.
To me, this photo represents globalization in a few different ways.
First of all, having the different areas of the world all represented by code reminds us that technology is a huge tool used all over the world. It connects people and places every minute of every day. Where would we be without it? Technology gives us the capability to talk and even see people on the other side of the world. There are teams of people collaborating ideas through virtual work groups today instead of having to leave their home to travel. It's really an amazing thing!
Second, the colors are all throughout the image. This make me think of how products can be made in one area of the world yet found in many others. It amazes me to see the amount of items from across the globe wherever I go. World trade is a non-stop part of life on earth. Somewhere on Earth, someone is trading with someone else in another land! Another image that came to mind with the sporadic colors, is the idea of migration. People move to different countries for things like work and/or a better life, just to name a few.
This photo reminded me of globalization and helped remind me how much it has changed our world today.
