"The World is Flat" book talk opinion

If you were to tell anyone today that the world is flat, they would look at you as if you were insane. However, that is just what Thomas Friedman says the world is. How is this possible? Technology. With the type of technology that we have today, our world has become almost minuscule. I found Friedman's idea of the world's evolution fascinating. From how the world went from large to medium, to small; to when people began traveling and colonizing, to companies spanning their business, and finally when individuals began connecting to one another and voicing his or her opinion.  Never have we been able to get our voice heard without having someone else do it for us. Now we can upload our opinion in the blink of an eye. We can view someone else’s opinion and make comments on it, instantly. I think this is truly amazing.

            Another thing that Friedman said that I found very interesting was the idea of “Green” and the concept being invented by the same people who don’t even believe in global warming. He says that we have said for so long that we are in a “Green Revolution.” Then he goes on to say that that is not so, because in a revolution, someone gets hurt. As of today, no one has gotten hurt by our “revolution.” I consider myself to be pretty eco-conscious, but to hear this, makes me want to do more for the earth.
