The World is Flat: Chapter 3

Triple Convergence:
1)Creation of New field
2)Adapt to New rules
3)Addition of New players
                = New Game
A very competitive new game.....reminds me again of the gazelle lion metaphor on pg.114
There is a drive in the developing world, that is lacking in our country. While the developing world is building a generation of "zippies", internally driven and focused youth. Our country has produced a generation of entitlement. I look at my generation and see a generation that believes that the U.S. is still the best, and deserves the best, and will have the best. This entitlement has led us to be unmotivated. We are not working at the pace that we need to to keep ahead. I think this should be one of the great flattening forces; our ego. Currently, the majority of outsourced and off-shored work is grunt work, not the brains of the operation.....but that may not last long. Then the world will be flat.
