10 Jun 05 More “The World is Flat” links
MIT OpenCourseware has a video of Tom Friedman speaking about his new book “The World is Flat” (Via Elearnspace and Elearningpost)
Chances are good that Bhavya in Bangalore will read your next x-ray, or as Thomas Friedman learned first hand, “Grandma Betty in her bathrobe†will make your Jet Blue plane reservation from her Salt Lake City home. In “Globalization 3.0,†Friedman contends, people from far-flung places will become principal players in the marketplace.
Also, on Wired, Friedman answers Why the world is Flat?
When I was growing up, my parents told me, “Finish your dinner. People in China and India are starving.” I tell my daughters, “Finish your homework. People in India and China are starving for your job.”
