Globalization Will Include Space As A New Frontier

The speed of information is now at the speed of light. You may wonder, "Wasn't it always?" Well no, it wasn't, and this ten-fold increase in speed has occurred in the past few decades going almost unnoticed. The speed of data transmission has, until recently, been the speed of the electron, about ten percent of the speed of light. With wireless connections now becoming the standard, we are no longer held back by phone lines, dial-up, and that slow-poke called The Electron.

Now we bond with, and expect, the speed of the photon. At one hundred eighty six thousand miles a second, even cell phone calls to the moon are now practical! There will though be that pesky little delay of one and a half seconds when you are talking to someone on the moon. Very similar to transoceanic phone lines of the past. The delay is noticeable, but it is not a show-stopper. You can still carry on a normal conversation with someone loping across the sea of tranquility.

Aviation technologies will also speed travel to outstanding new speeds. The Concorde travelled at Mach Two. Faster than a speeding bullet. You use to be able to leave London at ten in the morning and arrive in New York at ten in the morning. By clock standards, instantaneously! Super sonic transports will make their reappearance in the 2020's.

The Ikeler4000, and it's larger variations, will be an integral part of the globalization of our economies, cultures, and finances and space. There are great days ahead!
