Internet and mobile have empowered human beings to achieve the things which we could not have imagined in the past . Power of atom has appeared before us as if ancient Indian God Rudra have appeared again to shake the world as such .

Power of literatures have put impacts on the people of the world in shaping their lives .

Our social relationships have increased many folds . Now we look beyond our caste, creed and religion . Our increased social relationships have changed the nature of our economy . Previously we were concentrated in our close circuit . But now the entire world looks as ours . Through the technology we can approach anywhere in the world . Online business is the best example of this . We can even get higher education while sitting in our bedroom from anywhere in the world . We could not have thought of it in the past as such .
THE CULTURAL CONTACTS

Like social relationships , our cultural contacts have given shape to the lives and people of the world . It’s due to cultural contacts with the west that we have included many of thier lifestyles in that of ours . Many of the recipes , up till now unknown to us , have become our day-to-day habits . The pop-music is now prefered to that of the classical one . Similarly , numerous elements have been mixed with our dance system also . Our film makings have improved many folds coming in touch with the film makers of the other parts of the world . Our dresses and their designs are not so which existed in the past . They have changed completely . Even people working in the fields prefer pants and shirts than our traditional dresses like Dhoti & Kurta . So , Cultural Contacts have shaped our lives considerably the world over .
