thomas.L.friedman. THE WORLD IS FLAT.

"You say you want a revolution? Well, the real information revolution is about to begin. This new era of globalization will prove to be such a difference of degree that it will be seen, in time, as a difference in kind. That is why I introduced the idea that the world has gone from round to flat. Everywhere you turn, hierarchies are being challenged from below or are transforming themselves from top down structures into more horizontal and collaborative ones."
