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.

《圣经.旧约》上说,人类的祖先最初讲的是同一种语言。他们在底格里斯河和幼发拉底河之间的巴比伦定居,日子越过越好,决定修建一座可以通到天上去的高塔——巴比伦塔。上帝今天我们所看到的大怒,决定让人世间的语言发生混乱,是人们互相语言不通,结果才形成了几大语系并存...
评分鉴于此书在全世界的热度,我是带着崇敬的心情拜读的。 可惜只开了个头,10分钟后我就拜不下去啦,接下去就是采用速读大法,用5个小时就看完了。 反正我知道作者的意思:世界因为网络而改变,在未来,印度跟中国的潜力巨大,因为网络,所以世界也就变平了。 看完之后,我有一个...

评分1. 去年夏天,正是最热的时候,一港姐来京公干。一天谈下来,精疲力竭,口干舌噪,心情很是不爽。当港姐笑咪咪地说晚上一起吃饭时,我脱口而出: “不去!” 还是人家特区的素质高,根本不和我一般见识,一边说遗憾一边就递过来一份包装异常精美礼品。 ...
