Social Science (087) — CBSE Class 10 board question

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) promoted globalisation in the following ways:

• Telecommunication (telephone, fax, mobile phones, internet) enables instant contact across the world, even from remote areas.
• Internet allows sharing of information, sending e-mails, and e-banking at negligible costs, helping production of services spread across countries.

For example, a magazine designed in Delhi for London readers uses internet and telecommunication at every step, making global production possible.

• Examiners expect two distinct points for 2 marks — one point per mark.
• Mention specific examples of ICT tools (internet, telecom, e-banking) rather than vague statements.
• The textbook example of the Delhi-London magazine is ideal to illustrate the point concretely.
• Do not confuse transportation technology with ICT — keep them separate.
