The Flat World

Finally finished the book "The World Is Flat" by Thomas Friedman.  In a nutshell, I like it..a lot!

I haven't read a nice book like this one for a while.  I am glad to hear the wakening voice from an American journalist viewing how the dynamics of this world is changing the American mid-class life.  Honestly I don't believe many people really realize what is happening around the world and how the changes will impact the 21st century human society.

I strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants to know what really happens (and is happening) outside of the North America continent - not through the peak hole of CNN's media, not through any political speech, but through the mind of an American journalist who travels and actually spends time thinking about the impact of technology and the social dynamics.

An eye-opening book.
