Globalisation - knowledge sharing

We have seen through the swine flu how scientists around the world have been able to share knowledge and quickly map out the genome of this flu. They're not done as yet but they're certainly nearly there.

Globalisation has certainly facilitated knowledge sharing to a remarkable degree. It has also greatly facilitated its dissmenination to reach people even in remote areas through enhanced technology. Largely driven for profit purposes, it has become a tool for the non-profit as well.
