Accompanying and facilitating globalization is a revolution in communication and information technologies. The computer based telecommunications system known as the Internet can send text, images, audio and video files around the world in seconds. Significantly, the cost of access to this global communications network is within the financial reach of most people in wealthier nations. This technology has given the sex industry new means of exploiting, marketing and delivering women and children, as commodities, to male buyers. Through financial and technological interdependence, the sex industry and the Internet industry have become partners in the globalization of sexual exploitation. |
