Media globalization is one of the most prominent factor that shapes the global world. When the Bali bomb exploded in Indonesia, less than five minutes people could see the news on TV or internet. Media has a significant role to spread the news all over the world. With its wide-coverage network, media could reach almost any place in the world to give us information which has become our daily consumption.

We could not imagine how we can live without CNN, BBC, MTV, or Hollywood movies for instance. Those media has been there to accompany us wherever we go. They give us information about recent Dowjones market index, interest rates, oil price, top 40 songs, Box office movies, etc. They also give us information about new products, sales, vacation packages through their advertising which always attracts us to watch and listen. Those media somehow has also changed the way we perceive the world around us. They has changed our habits, hobbies, preferences, and even cultures that we might never realize. They introduce new ways of thinking; thinking about the world and all processes on it. They shape our oppinions to like something that might have seemed unfavorable or the other way around. They introduce the so called pop cultures to people in different regions as if those cultures are the most appropriate to adopt to be considered part of the global civilization.

CNN, BBC, MTV, Hollywood movies and many others are some agents of this media globalization. They convey information, news, advertising, and even culture from one country to another. They link and connect all part of the world with their media infrastructure; and in this respect media globalization has become an important factor that might explain the future of the 'global village'.

In a www survey conducted by GUV in 1995, internet connection speed at 14 kb/s had the highest percentage with 33.7%, 32.72%, 22.95% in general part of the world, U.S, and europe respectively. In other words, the most common connection speed is 14 Kb/sec (33.70%) followed by 28 Kb/sec (26.63%). In year 1998, the same survey resulted in 31.4% for connection speed at 56 Kb/sec. This fact however has shown how internet technology has grown rapidly within three years.
