Earth is a small place, and is set to become even smaller.

Nowadays, is easy to forget how much smaller the world has become with modern telecommunications, car, and air travel.

The Internet, and mobile telephony, allows us to be in contact with just about anyone instantly no matter the time or distance between the people. And with the cost of entry, and of the services themselves, becoming lower with time, more people are joining the networks.

In some cases, with the right tools or apps, teleconferences are possible; even when not everyone being at the same physical location. This allows for meetings that couldn't be done before because it wasn't possible to connect more than two points in a single call, or it was simply to expensive to do so.

Even some international calls are becoming so cheap, that they are becoming trivial for a larger amount of people to make on the regular basis. For example, calls to the US and Canada are unlimited for me from Mexico for around $10.00 dollars a month.

Cars, airplanes, buses, and trains, now allow to reach places that used to take days, or even weeks, in a fraction of that time.

In the case of air and bus fares, they have been becoming accessible for a more people constantly over the years. And though they still have along way to go, they are set to become available to a larger portion of the population over time.

These things have become so common place, that now is easy to forget how much more small of place our world truly has become.
