Yes, technology has change the way we live. We communicate through phones and e-mail quickly around the world. We are being transported from one place to another quickly and we are using one culture.
I personally think technology is simply creating more friction between existing world cultures: more arguments, raging wars and slaughtering.
All because technology does one thing: simplify a task.
A hoe simplifies farming. A computer simplifies communication and a multitude of other new inventions (relatively new anyway, like banking.)
A light-bulb soothes fear of the dark and allows for sight at nighttime. A torch is like the first light in a castle etc.
Well, a nuclear weapon is more effective for killing your enemies than an assault rifle equipped platoon. So, technology aids in both positive and negative cultural attributes, making bad culture tensions wayyyy worse, and escalating allies coping techniques.
But the idea of a singluar world culture, one race of homogenous humans, is something that if ever achieved would be achieved far later in evolution, perhaps millions of years (due to reproduction between races and cultures ultimately homogenizing the Homo Sapiens-Sapiens gene pool into one set. This would be very unhealthy for us humans as it could mean that if a specific deadly virus targeted us in homogenized form it would have a 99.99% kill rate due to gene singularity and similarity.

A world with a single culture is theoretically possible, but it would likely result in the loss of diversity and richness that different cultures contribute. Cultural homogenization could occur through globalization, technology, and mass communication, which can spread similar values and practices. However, human beings are inherently diverse, with varying beliefs, languages, and traditions, making it difficult for a single culture to completely dominate. Ultimately, while a unified culture might emerge in certain aspects, the complexity of human identity and experience suggests that multiple cultures will always coexist.
There are many reasons, including environment, technology, economy, and culture.
American influences, such as Hollywood movies, music, and technology, have spread globally through globalization and media channels. This has led to the adoption of American fashion, language, and lifestyles in many countries, creating a more interconnected global culture influenced by American values and norms. The dominance of American companies in industries like technology and fast food has also contributed to the spread of American culture around the world.
The main reason that a global culture emerged in the 20th century was technology. Technology allowed many people with computers to connect with others across the world.
It doesn't. There is a saying, that Canadians could have had the three best cultural traits in the world: the American technology, the french Cuisine and the English culture. However, it has resulted for the worst: Canada has the American culture, the English cuisine and the French technology.

Technology is * Something that solves a real world problem * A culture or way of life * A technique
Yes, because with communication technology, it is possible to talk to and share with people all over the world instantly, effortlessly, as long as they have the resources to have such technology.
The development of a single global culture is possible due to factors like globalization, increased interconnectedness through technology, and the sharing of ideas and values across borders. However, it is also important to recognize the value of cultural diversity and the likelihood of resistance from communities wanting to preserve their unique identities. Balancing homogenization with diversity will be crucial in shaping the cultural landscape of the future.
The environment, situation, culture are unique for every country in the world. There is not any single country with identical culture or philosophy. So if a country decides to import technology developed in the other nation, they must take their culture and philosophy into consideration.
Science focuses on gaining knowledge about the natural world, whereas technology focuses on creating new products or processes for human use.
