It is often said that modern life presents us with an overwhelming number of choices. I completely agree with this, and I believe that the Internet and globalization are the two major factors involved.
It is undeniable that the Internet has led to a dramatic expansion in the number of choices that are available to us. The number of online media options, for instance, is now almost endless. There are countless websites offering entertainment, news videos, on-demand TV and music streaming, many of which are free. I would argue that this abundance of media leads to confusion on the part of average user, as we have to make so many decisions about the content we consume. A personal example of this trend would be the fact that I had a choice of just for TV channels when I was a child, whereas I now have access to thousands of films and series through services like Netflix.
Alongside the influence of the Internet, globalization is making the world smaller and compounding this problem of too many choices. Cheap international flights have made overseas travel possible for millions of people, but this also means we are faced with a world of options when deciding where to go on holidays or even where to live. We no longer have the limited but simple travel choices of our grandparents generation. The same is true if we look at the increasing tendency for young people to study abroad. While the opportunity for overseas study seems appealing, many students are confused about where to go and which path to take.
In conclusion, we are faced with a huge number of options in most areas of life nowadays, and this is often more bewildering than beneficial.
