Over the last few decades, there have been significant advancements in the fields of sciences, technology and medicine. The main reason behind each is the improvements in the field computer technology. Today the world is a global village with farthest corners of the world connected to each other at the click of a button. The mobile communication has opened far more and greater channels of being connected and communicate. Just like same technology everywhere to connect, there is a need for a common language as well.
Between the 17th to the 20th century, the British ruled almost the entire world. While moving from one part of the world to another, the most significant thing that they took along was their language, English. As the empire expanded to the far corners of the world, so did the language. Over time, several countries have adopted English as their primary official language along with the native language. If not for English today, each country would be in silos and will not able to grow as part of the global economy.
Due to the English language, a person sitting in China can communicate with a person living in France and able to do efficient business. Even young students are able to migrate to western countries for higher and better education, followed by some amazing career options. English is a primary language requirement in the case of permanent immigration as well.
While Chinese Mandarin is the most spoken language around the world, but having been confined within the country, it can never have an impact as much as English has on the world. Saying so I believe that English is, and will remain the dominant language through globalisation.
