Correct Answer:

Mass Media and communication

Explanation:

The 'compression' of time and space has been facilitated by Mass Media and communication.

The "compression" of time and space refers to the phenomenon where advancements in mass media and communication technologies have significantly reduced the perceived time it takes to communicate and interact across geographical distances. This phenomenon is closely associated with the speed and efficiency of communication, making it possible for people to connect and exchange information almost instantaneously, regardless of physical distances. Technologies such as the internet, mobile phones, and other forms of digital communication play a pivotal role in this process, allowing for real-time connectivity and the rapid dissemination of information, thereby "compressing" the experience of time and space.
