Internetization is globalization on steroids
The English language has traditionally embraced new words in response to the cultural evolution of civil society, in response to the production of new products and services, and to the articulation of innovative concepts in science and technology.
However, English has, at times, been at a loss in expressing subtle nuances of meaning. In contrast, the Greek lexicon has six words for the single English noun love. Eros, agape, filia, storgi, patriotosmos and filotimo each describe a separate nuance of that particular emotion.
Recently, marching to the beat of a different drummer, the English language has adopted a new concept and a new word: internetization. It supplants the word globalization, which is now an anachronism and has lost its relevance.
Internetization – global outreach on steroids – is globalization empowered by electronic connectivity.
