Abstract

Nowadays, the countries of the world are becoming closer, and the distances between countries and cultures around the world are gradually being reduced. Geographical, ethnic, social, and psychological barriers that seemed so difficult to overcome are gradually disappearing. People are coming into contact with each other and living together. Technological developments and innovations have been an important unifying factor or force in connecting people across the globe. The subject of this paper is a discussion of examples of nineteenth and twentieth-century design, which can be tools, objects, built environments, services, and more, that have helped to connect people across countries and cultures. An annotated bibliography now intricately fixes the thrust of the issue. The approach of this paper is as follows: three typical examples of design from the 19th and 20th centuries are collected for analysis, for example, the telephone, the Internet, the airplane, and the airport. They have played a massive role in bridging the vast gap between country and country, culture and culture. to further explain these enormous roles visually and visually. In summary, the following annotated bibliography and examples are essential to help draft research projects effectively and efficiently. Three typical cases show that technological progress and innovation in the 19th and 20th centuries did play an important role in bridging the significant differences between countries and cultures.
