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.

http://bizchedan.blogbus.com/logs/47197161.html 1964-1978年间,中国在中西部十三省进行宏大的工业、科技、国防和交通基建,史称三线建设。近半个世纪后,我们即将迎来又一波工业转移,所不同地是,上一次为了战备,由政府主导,这一次将是经济和社会自发的运动。 所谓三...
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《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(一) 再好的东西,如果跟你无关。那么,这个东西,都只是生活的八卦,而非必需品。 这也是人们需要忽略一些东西的理由。 人生是复杂和短暂的,我们活得都忙不过来了,除了爱看热闹的天性外,我们的眼界没有超越我们生活的圈子。 我在读《世界是平的》(第二版)的时...
评分在过去的10多年,可能是人类历史上信息技术发展最快的时期,不但出现了个人电脑,而且迅速地从个人电脑进入到互联网时代,web也从传统媒体的延伸,迅速地向个性化媒体,电子商务发展。虽然,在2000年爆发了网络泡沫,但是,没有人会相信互联网的向前的力量会停止。 ...
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?
评分在保守思潮大行其道的今天,再看这本书。且观望2019.03.29英国能否脱欧吧。
