Technology and Society: The World is Flat, Thomas L. Friedman

Many new technologies are coming and reshaping the world. More creative ideas are helping shape those technologies into more business opportunities. The pace that these innovative ideas are coming is increasing.
People from all over the world are being brought closer together through the information and product age. All countries need to invest in the potential of knowledge, work, and ideas.
Individuals need to educate themselves with the technologies and connect themselves to the awesome pool of resources available to them. So as individuals, communities and as a world, connecting together and learning how to incorporate these technologies is the best way to progress.
