Solution

The ability to travel and communicate over greater distances in shorter amounts of time, due to innovations such as the airplane, automobile, telephone, and Internet, represents the idea of time-space compression.

Time-space compression refers to the set of processes that cause the relative distances between places (i.e., as measured in terms of travel time or cost) to contract, effectively making such places grow "closer." The term comes from the idea that if one place is closer to another in time and/or cost, they are effectively "closer" in spatial terms. This has been possible due to technological innovations in transportation and communication, like the ones mentioned in the question.
