Answer:

  • Better high-speed rail lines
  • The widespread use of the Internet to conduct business
  • International trade agreements that lower tariffs and import quotas

Explanation:

Better cargo transportation services including high speed railroads, trucks and ships, all have helped increase international trade.

The internet and other improvements in telecommunications (e.g. smartphones) have changed our world, including the way business is done.

International trade agreements have lowered import tariffs, set a maximum tax rate for imports, and virtually eliminated import quotas in most developed nations (e.g. NAFTA and WTO).
