Throughout this time one of the most significant events in the history of world languages was happening: English-speaking soldiers, sailors and colonisers were travelling to, and settling in countries right the way across the globe. The technologies of telephones, radio, TV, records, CDs, mobile phones and the internet have enabled most people in the world to get access to each other's language in a matter of moments. Through these channels, millions of young people across the world have grown to like the sounds produced by English-speaking bands.	./cache/www-bbc-co-uk-3596.html	./txt/www-bbc-co-uk-3596.txt
