Has geography been weakened by modern technology?Yes, significantly — but not completely.Modern tech (internet, instant communication, global logistics, cloud computing, video conferencing) has dramatically reduced the friction of distance. Knowledge, trade, culture, and even personal relationships now flow with far less regard for physical location.However, geography still powerfully shapes:Climate & natural disasters
Resource distribution (energy, rare earths, water)
Military strategy & geopolitics
Supply chain vulnerabilities
Cultural inertia & time zone differences
Conclusion: Technology has greatly compressed geography's influence, but has not eliminated it. Distance matters less, but place still fundamentally matters.Related websites:
