Module 13

 

Thank you Professor Jensen

 

        I wanted to say I really enjoyed this class, I have learned a lot that I did not know, and the class made me see that the World really is flat and still flattening. When I started to read this book I didn’t understand why he was saying the world is flat when my whole life I have been told it is round and have even seen the globe. Now that the class is about over and we are done with the book I finally understand where Friedman was going with the title. I have learned that our playing field is level which makes it so any nation can compete, because of global telecommunications.

        I have learned a lot reading this book and answering questions for this class. One thing that was an eye opener was knowing about Al Qaeda having a supply chain it’s a mutant worldwide supply chain, it’s not used for profit its purpose is destruction. They are using the tools of collaboration offered by the flat world for war and destruction.

        Learning about the process step by step of how the internet has progressed through the years was really cool for me. There were a lot of things that I never really even thought about like, workflow, Netscape, outsourcing, offshoring, supply chain. I just never thought about how the internet has changed the world and the people in it good and bad.  

       The book The World is Flat it takes a little bit to get into but once you get in to the book it bring things to light that you don’t think about or things you never knew. But I recommend you buy this book and read it for yourself.

       I thought this class was very fun and interesting, I enjoyed the blogging and most of the book. I recommend this class to anyone that is interested in networking or if you are going in to the business world.  

      This class has opened up my eyes to how far we have come, but also opened my eyes to, how the more we progress and become flat the more we allow the evil in the world to destruct.
