Just for a second, I would like to isolate that statement for the sole purpose of reflection.
Where would the world be today, if no technology whatsoever had ever crossed the borders?
Mathematics and astrology, and hence construction and navigation was a known technology in ancient Egypt. But we all know about this today, at least if we paid attention during school.
Is it bad in general that technology is spread? No, it ain't. Better to help eachother to rise together, thus avoiding jalousy and hatred. Though within reason. No reason to share knowledge about mass destruction weapon technology (like nuclear bombs). In fact, this is one technology, which is one of the worst inventions ever. And of the scientists who did it, many have regretted it, but sadly the circumstances forced them to invent it.
Okay, WTF just happend here. Now, Facebook and mass destruction technology...
I wonder if the "Everybody draw Muhammed" phenomenon has the potential of mass destruction of the general moslem idea of Muhammed being perfect, when he wasn't.
