Since people can buy almost every product from around the world, most countries in the world becoming similar nowadays. Several products having their branch in a lot of countries, especially those countries that becomes the target of global market. Which becoming the worldwide market-targets usually those are which still categorized as developing countries, and mostly in Asia. I found that this circumstance giving positive impact to people around the world.
In my opinion, the nature of human being goes to the more and more complex needs of life. Our grandmother just needs simple stuff for their daily life, and she has no a lot of choices. But presently we can find hundreds kind of stuff, like iron, bed, smartphone, television, even several home dress models. This is also happend because some countries competitively produce innovative products that more efficient, and distribute it to other countries with reasonable price. In this stage technology definitely playing significant role.
The development of technology represented by the spreading of e-commerse around the world. The existace of e-commerse makes people easily buy products from other countries. That is what makes countries around the world becoming more similar each other right now. Even thought this condition brings positive impact to the development of global market, however, the policy makers around the world have to make a sufficient rules in order to minimize the unintended consequences regarding this issue.
As the conclusion, I recommend to all people who loves buying products online to be more careful and wise. There is no problem if we follow the trends, but buy things only what we really need also important.
