Trains have been a popular form of transport since the 19th century. When the first steam train was built in 1804, people were worried that the speed would make rail passengers unable to breathe or that they would be shaken unconscious by the vibrations.  The development from steam-hauled trains to diesel-powered trains, and then to electric trains were advances in transportation made possible by technological development. Performance and energy efficiency were improved, and the operation costs were reduced consequently.This has increase the speed and efficiency in our mode of transportation.

With one click, we can communicate with anyone from any part of the world. Companies are able to advertise products to the global market and consumers worldwide. These companies include YouTube, Zalora, Carousell. They are able to make full use of social media platforms to promote their products.

Besides companies being able to promote products, individuals are also able to communicate with greater ease due to the invention of smartphones.

Since people around the world are connected, communication is improved and they are able to control their worldwide activities easily and more efficiently. This allows more people to have their ideas and activities to be more integrated and interconnected. This will thus drive globalisation.
