How Containerization Shaped the Modern World

Sometimes a single unlikely idea can have massive impact across the world. Sir Harold Evans, the author of They Made America, describes how frustration drove Malcom McLean, a small-town truck driver, to invent the shipping container. Containerization was born, and it transformed the modern global economy.

What is containerization and how does it relate to global trade?

The video concludes by crediting containerization with "shrinking our world and enlarging human choice." "Human choice" might mean consumer choice-that is, expanding the range of products available for people to buy-but what other kinds of "human choice" does globalization enlarge?
McLean's shipping container accelerated globalization. Before that, what invention(s) enabled a greater exchange of goods, ideas and people within countries, for example in nineteenth and early 20th century America?

McLean's invention speeded up the exchange of goods around the world. What inventions have speeded up the exchange of ideas? Have the effects been positive, negative, or a mixed bag? Explain with an example.
