Thomas Friedman redefines the flat world
I attented the Personal Democracy Forum last month. New York Times columnist, Thomas Friedman, in his keynote announced the addition of 3 new chapters to this popular book “World is Flat” (3rd edition) .Â
Mahatma Gandhi once said, “Be the change you want to see in the world”. That was Gandhi’s message to 250+ million Indians, challenging them to organize and rise up against the British rule.
Thomas Friedman reading out his new chapter announced, “If it’s not happening, it’s because you’re not doing it”. This is the new form of Citizen Activism in the age of Internet and Technology. Users have all the necessary tools (read blogs, forums, feeds, widgets) to organize virtual campaigns and put pressure on the big corporations and governments.
Check out the recorded version of Friedman’s keynote here.
More on the flat world and this from the perspective of employers - Back in the days, people wrote and presented their resume as a proxy of who they’re. Today, companies can go on the internet and gather the information themselves. The human proxy has been dropped and entities are more transparent.
