Gift vouchers and gift cards

More and more people live away from all of their family and friends, this means that even though the theory is that the world is getting smaller and smaller people are moving further away. There are many reasons why this is happening the main reasons are to do with the increase and advances in transportation. This started in the 19th century with the introduction of the train. The introduction of the train meant that people could travel further afield (albeit in the same country) which made living miles away from your loved ones not as daunting as it was previously. Then there were further advances and by the beginning of the 20th century there was the introduction of the car. Initially the car wasn’t affordable by the masses and as such was more of a luxury item. Not that long after the car came the plane but again it wasn’t until 50 years latter that these to machines would change the face of the world. The introduction of the plane meant that more people could travel further afield and it also meant they could live further afield. This is one of the reasons why you will start to see more and more gift cards and gift vouchers for sale not only in the UK but also throughout the world. The next advances that started to make people need gift vouchers as presents are the advances in the computer and more importantly the internet. With the like of social networking sites and web cams you can chat to your family who may be half the way round the other side of the world.

As you can see there are many contributing factors that can be taken into consideration when you look at how the world has become more and more smaller than the world of generations before us.
