Working in the IT industry that's one word I get to hear as many times as I breathe in a day. But right now I refer to the fact that everyone in my family is in a different part of the world - Meerut, Pune, Connecticut, Geneva - yet emails, phones, chats have really rendered the distance redundant. Of course it will be true globalization when teleportation becomes a reality!
But for now the globally spread family, I'm sure, will also become as common a trend as Globalization has become in the IT world, if it hasn't already.

Very rightly said 008. Definitely the distances between people have shortened. Its all about accessibility. What I have observed in my life is that the friends i'm connected with thru mail even if they are 1000 kms away, I get to talk to them much more as compared to the friends who may be only a few Kms away from my home.

yes, lots of people do echo that. And how could I forget to mention the effect of facebook, orkut etc!
But if we think more, Globalization brings with itself different and difficult set of challenges with it. Its not easy for everybody to survive in a global world. The attitude has to change. The understanding has to develop. The sensitivities have to be appreciated and much more...
