Social Science — CBSE Class 10 board question

Technology stimulates globalisation by enabling faster movement of goods, services, and information at lower costs.

Examples:

• Transportation: Use of containers has reduced port handling costs and increased the speed of exports reaching markets.
• IT/Internet: A magazine designed in Delhi for London readers is sent via Internet and email, making cross-country service production possible.

For a 2-mark question, examiners expect: one clear statement defining the role of technology + two distinct examples (one from transport, one from IT/communication). Avoid writing lengthy paragraphs. The examples from the textbook (containers, magazine example) are the safest to use as they are directly prescribed. Do not add outside examples unless you also cover the textbook ones.
