The book The World Is Flat is a very interesting book; it gives me some good views. Surely, the world is changing rapidly and becomes globalization. I particularly like this paragraph:

"While the dynamic force in Globalization 1.0 was countries globalizing and the dynamic force in Globalization 2.0 was companies globalizing, the dynamic force in Globalization 3.0 - the force that gives it its unique character - is the newfound power for individuals to collaborate and compete globally."

Yes, it is gloalization, and the causes are the development of media. Just as the article we read last week, from the railroad appeared, the communication of humans are more and more connvenient. The telegraph, telephone, radio, TV, and now the internet, they are all shortening the world because the information could pass so fast.

Why do I like that paragraph? Because I can foresee that one's talent will not be submerged in the future; everyone can be exposed to the world. It makes people all over the world have equal chances to show themselves. They are at the same level, on the same platform, and no matter where they from or who they are. One's creativities can be passed in a blink, and they make the interaction or opinion exchange more quickly. It can be easily to integrate the ideas from everywhere and make this world better in a unimaginable speed, just like a meeting room that includes 12 billion people. I think this is the Globalization what Friedman means.

If it is true, I would like to wait for the day come, and I want to see what the ultimate of the communication will produce by my eyes.
