Equalization: Globalization's Trump Card

Even though Globalization through the Internet and electronic media worldwide tends to destroy governments and privacy and the rights of everyone on earth, it also tends to equalize everyone through education. So, through the Internet it is now possible to educate everyone for free. Once people learn to read and write they have access to almost unlimited amounts of knowledge and information. The true statement is: "a child in Africa with a Smartphone now has more access to information than President Clinton did as President of the United States". This is now true of any child on Earth with a Smartphone.

So, equally there is literally equal access to education even though not equal access to diplomas. So, knowledge wise education is now available on almost any subject imaginable all the way through to a Bachelor's degree level of knowledge in literally any subject online. But, without a degree online this only translates to knowledge without credentials. However, remember Bill Gates and I believe Steve Jobs were both college Drop-outs. So, the power of this should not be underestimated worldwide in transforming the world in almost infinite ways both good and bad depending upon the long term motivations of all students worldwide.
