Ummm!.!.!.!.!. you could start with ships/domestication!. Those two enabled us to traverse oceans in ships and vast distances by horse, meaning we met more people and news travelled quicker!. Then there were signal fires, mirrors, the telegraph, international phone lines, and finally the internet!. Each of these has increased communication and contact between cultures!. The internet in a particularly fascinating way because instead of completely blind exploration people from a foreign culture can find one that appeal;s to them to visit, possibly being the first from their area to arrive there!.

Just look at how people were travelling and communicating at the times contact has been made, that should give you a few clues!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well with technology, airplanes, steam boats, trains, automobiles, cellphones, television, the INERNET! were all invented!.

cultures can contact each other much more easily with a push of a button or by a flight!.

It used to take a year or two to sail around the world, now it only takes a few weeks!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
