Robin received a letter. He read the letter over and over. He was very excited. It came from his aunt Amina. Aunt Amina and her family live in the countryside forty miles away from Dhaka. Robin ran to his mother and said, "Mom, listen to this letter." He then read it to her.

Dear Robin,

We are happy to know that your summer holiday is starting from the next week. We would like you to come and stay with us for a few days.

We know you’ll like the country. We have four ducks, six chickens, and a cow that gives fresh milk everyday.

Your cousin Maher is just about your age. He's very excited and is making a lot of plans to do together.

Let us know when you will arrive. We have already talked to your parents. Tell them not to worry. We'll be at the bus station to receive you.

Your Aunt Amina

and

Uncle Karim

The term 'global village' was first used by Marshal McLuhan. In 1962 and 1964 he wrote two books on media and communication. In his books he said that telephone, TV and electronic media have brought all mankind close to one another. For example, if we see the news of floods in a distant country on TV, we feel that we are also present there. We can see what is happening at the same moment. We can share the same suffering with the people who are in the real disaster at the moment. McLuhan believed that electronic technology would make the world a global village. When he first said about the idea of global village, the Internet was not invented. But now, personal computers and the Internet have made McLuhan's idea more possible than ever. Now the entire globe is caught in a world-wide web called 'The Internet'.
