You don't need to travel in person to see things. I like watching videos of foreign countries, and part of the appeal is seeing different architecture. I don't want every country to look the same, even if I never travel there. And poor people can usually afford cheap smartphones, so they can also enjoy watching foreign videos.

We are all consuming the same media, so our culture is homogenizing. Just like speciation requires isolation, perhaps our cultural globalization is preventing weird uniqueness from developing?
