Impact on global system 
 
Development of computer technologies and its software have enormously influenced the 
globe. In comparison, 25 years ago, we still write conventional letters and it will take time to deliver 
and get our message across. Buy improving the communication technology and later on the internet 
and social media the world have become globalized and inter-connected regardless of times and 
spaces. Trending for business integration now is far easier and world market meet the demand 
almost instantly. The social media becomes more critical especially in ensuring the safety and 
securing of every national interest. Today, whoever is capable of controlling the information

superiority, will have few steps ahead of its competitor. Hence, the race for space program among 
global powers has paramount importance for technology advancement which in the long run may 
have problematic impact on the space command and control. 
Being as an important element of soft power the social media and internet are playing 
essential role in our global system. If you use this soft power in an appropriate way together with 
hard power such as military you can create the influential smart power in order to protect peace and 
security in the world. In their early stage of 21
st
century, social media started to spread mostly in 
more developed countries such as (North America, Europe, Russia, Japan, South Korea and 
Australia) with a high technological power and whose government’s guarantees complete freedom 
of expression and communication. Nevertheless, later on social media have started to spread out in 
less developed and non-democratic countries, too. The flow of the historical development later 
brings us to the new technologically globalized era. This era generate the new types of information 
warfare between hegemon powers such as war for superiority and dissemination of the information. 
In the new world reciprocally dependent on each other, it is easy to damage the routine flow of life 
with an attack to the computer systems and harm them. The globalized terror organizations may 
cause the dimensions of the attacks reach dramatic points by the use of such cyber-attacks. 
Paul Jones, a professor at the University of North Carolina and founder of ibiblio.org, 
responded: “Television let us see the global village, but the internet let us be actual villagers” [2]. 
The spread of affordable information and communication technologies, such as mobile 
phones and the internet, has broadened the public sphere and shifted it from the institutional realm 
to the new communication space. Globalization starts to modify arguments from the national arena 
to the global theater. Social media has been used as a tool to support development of (public 
thinking, provide education and knowledge about protection of human rights) and push for social 
change and transformation. Despite the growth of information and communication technologies in 
the developing world, in particular mobile phones, some technologies may not be accessible to 
disregarded groups, which can reinforce inequalities in society.
