The World is Flat

Huh? Flat you say? That's right, I am reading "The World is Flat" by Thomas L. Friedman.
I've barely been able to put down this 500+ page text since I bought it several days ago.

This is an important book to read for anyone interested in where the world is heading in regards to the India / China phenomenon and globalization. It also speaks to the empowerment of individuals through new media like blogging as well as the power of collaboration.

If you follow world news you may be aware that our world is rapidly changing. If you're scared of the implications and have ignored what's going on outside your community, your city and country, this book will be a major wake up call. But don't let that ominous sounding sentence scare you. The book provides one with insight into the changes taking place as well as a look into how as a business or individual you can prosper rather than be left behind in the new "flat" world.

page 125 and counting...
