he process of deterritorialization is what makes globalization different from any other processes of social change in human history. David Harvey (1990) described this process as time-space compression. When one America individual exchanges instant messages with someone in another country, this instantaneous interaction erases distance and occurs as if these two individuals were in the same place, a virtual space. Time and space have therefore been compressed through the technological creation of a virtual space of interaction unaffected by distance. The real physical distance between these two individuals is covered, literally, in no time.
