Is technology creating a single world culture?

Yes, technology has change the way we live. We communicate through phones and e-mail quickly around the world. We are being transported from one place to another quickly and we are using one culture.

I personally think technology is simply creating more friction between existing world cultures: more arguments, raging wars and slaughtering.

All because technology does one thing: simplify a task.

A hoe simplifies farming. A computer simplifies communication and a multitude of other new inventions (relatively new anyway, like banking.)

A light-bulb soothes fear of the dark and allows for sight at nighttime. A torch is like the first light in a castle etc.

Well, a nuclear weapon is more effective for killing your enemies than an assault rifle equipped platoon. So, technology aids in both positive and negative cultural attributes, making bad culture tensions wayyyy worse, and escalating allies coping techniques.

But the idea of a singluar world culture, one race of homogenous humans, is something that if ever achieved would be achieved far later in evolution, perhaps millions of years (due to reproduction between races and cultures ultimately homogenizing the Homo Sapiens-Sapiens gene pool into one set. This would be very unhealthy for us humans as it could mean that if a specific deadly virus targeted us in homogenized form it would have a 99.99% kill rate due to gene singularity and similarity.
