Forces Influencing Globalization and Diffusion Space-time Compression Distance Decay/ Friction of Distance

Space- Time Compression Technology that reduces the time it takes for something to reach another place Communication (telegraph, telephones, fax machines, Internet) Travel (rail, cars, trains, jets) Reduces the perceived distance- the real distance remains the same.

Distance Decay The farther away someone is from you, the less likely you two are to interact. Contact diminishes with the increase in distance Friction of Distance

Time Zones and Longitude 1878 standardization was crucial for train schedules Canadian Sir Sanford Fleming proposed a system of 24 worldwide time zones- each spaced 15 deg. of longitude apart 1884 Prime Meridian created in Greenwich, England Established the 24 time zones based on the Prime Meridian. Not all countries switched immediately- U.S. in 1918 Modern day variations: China should have 5 time zones, but only uses one Australia, Nova Scotia, and several SW Asian and South Asia countries utilize half-hour time zones. Alaska has it’s own time zone.
