Abstract

In the early part of the 20th century, there was a notable trend in modernizing the world through industrial development. Both the superpowers and the developing communities were striving to win the race or to catch up with industrialization in an effort to be seen as industrialized nations that were committed to a modern, higher quality of life for their citizens. In the 21st century, that same fervor to modernize has emerged once more with a renewed vigor, but this time there is an urgency to technologize. In other words, the goals and dreams to keep the world chugging along on the old steam engine have suddenly moved forward at lightning speed to digitize an already modern and industrial economy bringing information and communication fast forward into the 21st century.
