The World Is Flat

Right now I am reading a book called "The World Is Flat" by Thomas L. Friedman. It talks how the convergence of trends, events and inventions has created a global platform for collaboration and how this new platform allows people around the world to plug in and collaborate, compete and invent. And ultimately how this platform will change everyone's lives around the globe in a rather profound way. Thomas also presented about a year ago at MIT about that same topic - The World Is Flat. It is quite fascinating to listen to it.

You can also find more about the author on his web site. His book "The World Is Flat" draws a rather compelling story, how we got here and how it will change our lives and the lives of our children. I can strongly recommend this book!
