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.

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。
评分http://bizchedan.blogbus.com/logs/47197179.html 补完一词,出自经典动画片<EVA>。要讲BBS(Bulletin Board System)补完,先从网友命名为脑残的群体说起。出于书面礼貌,以下多简称NC。 脑残志坚 这个群体很难定义,就生活在我们中间,是路人甲乙丙,线下一般看起来也比较...
评分世界是平的。“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...
