Question

Jason and his wife are expecting their first child this week, but Jason had to attend a very important meeting in Quebec. While in Quebec, Jason was able to check his phone for text messages every hour, and as soon as his wife went into labor, he was able to return home in less than six hours. How was this possible

Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "B": He bought into the notion of the global village.

Step-by-step explanation:

Canadian philosopher and professor Herbert Marshall McLuhan (1911-1980) coined the term "global village" referring to how the influence of television, computers, and electronic information is reducing distances. Nowadays, the term has broadened its definition to represent the impact technology, in general, has reduced barriers making the world become one single globalized marketplace.

Thus, returning home from Quebec in less than six hours implied Jason taking on a plane to be present for his wife's labor, which shows how technology has shortened distances becoming a "global village".
