Final Jeopardy 1,000 The idea of time-space compression has had dramatic impacts on how geographers think of distance. Define time-space convergence and given an example of this process at work today. Describe the effects of this convergence on the connectivity between places.

Final Jeopardy Answer Time-space compression is the idea that due to advancing technologies it takes less time to get through space. For example it took Christopher Columbus months to reach the Caribbean from Spain, while today it would take a matter of weeks on a modern cruise ship, or even hours if one chose to fly. This convergence has greatly increased the connectivity between places. For example a classroom in the United States can now cooperate and collaborate with a classroom on the other side of the world in China.
