Borderless World: Geography and the Internet

1999
Borderless World is a fun, interactive, informative site about all aspects of geography--the study of mankind's interaction with the Earth. Our main focus and intent, however, is to explore the globalization of the world's cultures, economies, languages, ideas, and heritages caused by the advent of the Internet. We provide a dynamic medium with user-controlled content in which students of different countries, cultures, and languages are encouraged to contribute their own thoughts and information. By doing this, we hope to bring together students from all countries of the world in one common effort--to analyze ourselves through geography, each of us learning about different countries and their effects on the lives of the peoples within. In doing so, each of us will discover how--because of our world and our place in it--each of us is unique. Yet, perhaps more importantly, we will also discover in our interactions with one another how very much we all have in common.
