It is something like‚ as Ronald Steel (1999) very aptly puts‚ "You try to shut the door and it [the global economy] comes in through the window. You try to shut the window and it comes in on the cable. You cut the cable‚ it comes in on the internet. And it’s not only in the room with you. You eat it. It gets inside you."
