Which term refers to the increased flow of information across continents through technologies such as the personal computer, Internet, and mobile phone?

• A. International trade
• B. Global communication
• C. Terrorism
• D. Xenophobia

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is how modern technology enables information to flow across continents, connecting people around the world through devices like personal computers, the Internet, and mobile phones. This rapid exchange—emails, online news, social media, video calls, and instant messaging—defines global communication, showing how ideas and data travel far beyond local borders. The term that best fits describes this broad, cross-border sharing of information rather than goods or attitudes. International trade involves moving physical products and money, not primarily the spread of information. Terrorism is about violence or threats, and xenophobia is fear or prejudice toward foreigners. So the correct concept is global communication.
