Globalización y comunicación: Un salto en la capacidad de relación de los seres humanos

Abstract

Humanity attends a new era. Each historical period and every revolution has its own paradigms. The new era recognizes the technological paradigm, focusing on information and knowledge. The social sphere of people transcends the physical universe to the digital or online, determining a new sociability.

The change of era is driven and defined by globalization and communication. Economic globalization has greater role, but is not the only dimension (Beck, 1998, 30-31). Economic flows and communication flows are at par and as such must be analyzed in the context of the new political economy.
