Increased connections between different cultures through ICT

 

People all across the world are now more connected than ever before as a result of globalization. Most industries, including business, education, and healthcare, communicate via email, websites, and social media from a single location, the most popular of which is the corporate website.

 “By means of providing a central location for users access these collective functions and services”. (Dodd, 1996)

However, each form of technology has its own set of functionalities that, when overused, may create communication barriers and reduce the technology's intended productivity. Email and social networks, such as Facebook, are two of the most common and quick ways to connect with people and organizations from all over the world. However, some users are unaware of the potential for intercultural communication issues. Unlike a few websites that offer translation options such as Spanish, English, and French. The majority of email and social networking services are built on the user's initial home language and preferences, sometimes known as the default language or setting. As a result, there is a risk of misunderstanding or a common problem..

Women from some Kikuyu clans, for example, are known for their 'headaches,' while others are known for their 'quick and furious' separations, even before the totos crawl.

Does the 'mahewa generation' do thorough background checks wives to see whether they belong to the correct clans? Another qu
