8．Now telephone，television，radio and the Internet all help people communicate with each other．As a result，ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world．For example，within seconds，people can know who wins the vote in another country．An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a TV set．When an earthquake or a flood happens in some places，news of these disasters can bring help from distant countries within hours．Help is on the way．Because of modern technology like the satellites （人造卫星） that travel around the world，information travels fast．
How has this speed of communication changed the world？To many people，the world has become smaller．Of course this does not mean that the world is really becoming smaller．It means that the world seems smaller．Two hundred years ago，communication between two countries took a long time．In the 17th and 18th centuries，it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach America．This time difference influenced people's actions．For example，a fight，or a war in 1812between England and the United States could have been avoided （避免）．A peace agreement had already been signed （签署）．Peace was made in England，but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America．During these six weeks，the large and serious War of New Orleans was fought．Many people lost their lives after the peace agreement had been signed．In the past，communication took much more time than it does now．
With the help of modern technology，it's much easier to get more information within a short time．Our lives are becoming faster and faster．
