Because of Web 2.0 this generation develop social communities that are unique. They include more friendships that extend beyond local borders. What was foreign is not so anymore, this is not due solely to easily accessible transport with wings but due to the ubiquity of internet or virtual travel. In Thomas Friedmans book, The world is flat, it is written, 'the world has moved into a third great era of globalisation, people transcending borders, interacting and appreciating other countries, becoming global citizens.' (cited in Welch, 2009) This article, Transcending borders, is focused on ways in which we can use web 2.0 technologies to create global citizens with knowledge of Asia pacific regions, not just western or British.
