World Is Flat

I read Thomas Friedman's World is flat, and I though that was a very interesting book. It talks about how technology has enabled places around the world to be connected together. Information can travel from one part of the world to another in a split second. It discusses how due to the technology and the flow of information, many American companies are starting back offices, and even research and development centers in countries like India, China and Mexico. The book explains how Americans must be well educated in order to compete with developing countries like Mexico, China and India. I personally felt the book was interesting and recommend it.
