Where does the idea of global village come from?

The late Marshall McLuhan, a media and communication theorist, coined the term “global village” in 1964 to describe the phenomenon of the world's culture shrinking and expanding at the same time due to pervasive technological advances that allow for instantaneous sharing of culture (Johnson 192).

The term "global village" means all parts of the world as they are being brought together by the internet and other electronic communication interconnections. Within the global village framework people transcend the micro- meso- and macro-dynamics of their life on a daily basis.

Global Village started out in the form of a number of kiosks in 1996 located on the Creek Side opposite to Dubai Municipality. It then later shifted to the Oud Metha Area near Wafi City for 5 years. Today, Global Village has 6 million visitors at its current location on exit of Sheikh Zayed Exit 37.
