The beginning of the twenty-first century will be remembered, Friedman argues, not for military conflicts or political events, but for a whole new age of globalization ndash; a flattening' of the world. The explosion of advanced technologies now means that suddenly knowledge pools and resources have connected all over the planet, levelling the playing field as never before, so that each of us is potentially an equal ndash; and competitor ndash; of the other. The rules of the game have changed forever ndash; but does this death of distance', which requires us all to run faster in order to stay in the same place, mean the world has got too small and too flat too fast for us to adjust? Friedman brilliantly demystifies the exciting, often bewildering, global scene unfolding before our eyes, one which we sense but barely yet understand. The World is Flat is the most timely and essential update on globalization, its successes and its discontents, powerfully illuminated by a world-class writer. In his new chapters: 'If It's Not Happening, It's Because You're Not Doing It' and 'What Happens When We All Have Dog's Hearing?' the author explores both the benefits and disadvantages of the very latest developments in global communication. The emergent popularity of blogging, pod-casting, YouTube and MySpace enable the modern world citizen to broadcast their views to a potential audience of billions, and the proliferation of Internet access to even the poorest communities gives everyone who wants to the tools to address issues of social injustice and inequality. On the other hand the technology that seems to improve communication on a global scale causes it to deteriorate on a local scale. Identifying ours as 'The Age of Interruption', Friedman discusses the annoyance and dangers of BlackBerrys in meeting rooms, hands-free kits in conversation and using a phone or iPod whilst driving. In an age when we are always 'connected' via email or mobile phone how can we hope to concentrate on one thing without interruption? As expected the author has revitalised this new edition of The World Is Flat with timely insights into the nature of our flat world.

世界是平的(全面升级3.0版)
世界是平的。“平”即指“全球化”。 本书的副题是“二十一世纪简史”(A brief history of the twenty first century)。作此书时,本世纪的第五个年头当尚未完结,作者弗里曼就急吼吼地要来个盖棺论定——难怪那许多书评人看不惯他。书评人的另外一个主要批评,是说书中的观...
评分[随手一记] 世界是平的&湖南科学技术出版社&东方出版社 我要写书评,而且要评《世界是平的》,你信吗?熟悉我的,或熟悉我的blog的朋友,都肯定不信。但这次,各位非信不可。呃,先声明一句,这本书,我现在只看到第9页。 我要评的这个版本,是很新的2006年9月版,译者是何帆...
评分世界是平的,一本据说很火爆的畅销书。听说过蛮长时间,但总觉得标题蛮怪:难道到今天还有人怀疑地球不是圆的么? 于是很居心叵测的怀疑是标题党作祟,无视之。 直到前段一好友决定再次起航北漂,留下一堆杂物与我,其中便有此书中文版。他说不错值得一看,友人推荐又是免费之...
评分唉,全书其实可以用一句话概括:先进的技术造成交易的费用下降,从而使全球的分工进一步分化,进而使得个体和小团体在经济中的作用越来越突出,进而造成全球更加激烈的竞争! 谈谈感想好了,三点: 1 最深刻的感受是,两本书的全文都在讲一个观点:先进的技术造成交易的费用...
评分一本书,或是文章,很多则故事,连篇累牍,只阐述一个意思,是少了点,但总比什么都没有来得好吧。 不幸的是:大多数的书,是什么都没讲的。因此这一本,还值得读。
相信我,這真的是窮極無聊的書。厚厚的一本磚把世人皆知的道理用比喻事例和鋪排重複了一遍又一遍。文筆又著實乏善可陳,典型的商學院理論派筆法:幾個詞押頭韻再來幾個概念押尾韻,整合成漂亮又空洞的“新發現”……這種可愛的文體寫商業企劃書的那群人最喜歡了,呵呵呵。整體立意來說,Thomas Freidman對globalization又太過樂觀了。Globalization是不是等於Americanization? 全球文化會不會導致單一化?發展中國家的精神迷失?資源掠奪還是合理分配?——這些更有意思的話題作者隻字未提。外包、投資、信息化、經濟結構轉型這些話題911前已經講爛了,2007才出現的這本書到底爲什麽被如此吹捧?
评分an amazing one
评分两个多月断断续续读完了这本大名鼎鼎的The World Is Flat,这些年Globalization让我这样来自小城市的平民都有深刻感触。虽然书内容很多看起来都是浅显明白,不过文章行云流水,是学习英语比较适合入门的原版书
评分我是来学英语的
评分Talk about the surface how about some hidden details?
