Answer 1

The most notable impact of information technologies that have emerged in the last two decades is that they **sped it up by increasing the speed of communication**. Technologies such as the internet, social media, and mobile communication have revolutionized the way people share information and interact. This has led to rapid cultural diffusion, as ideas, practices, and cultural norms can now be disseminated globally in real time, breaking down traditional barriers of time and distance.

While there may be some arguments regarding social or physical barriers, the overarching effect of modern information technologies has been to facilitate easier and faster connections between individuals and communities across the globe, promoting a more interconnected world.
