“flatteners” includes the fall of the Berlin Wall; the rise of Netscape and the dotcom boom that led to a trillion dollar investment in fiber optic cable; the emergence of common software platforms and open source code enabling global collaboration; and the rise of outsourcing, offshoring, supply chaining and insourcing

Friedman describes the unplanned cascade of technological and social shifts that effectively leveled the economic world, and “accidentally made Beijing, Bangalore and Bethesda next-door neighbors.” Today, “individuals and small groups of every color of the rainbow will be able to plug and play.”

Tony Dusko"Chances are good that Bhavya in Bangalore will read your next x-ray, or as Thomas Friedman learned first hand, “Grandma Betty in her bathrobe” will make your Jet Blue plane reservation from her Salt Lake City home. In “Globalization 3.0,” Friedman contends, people from far-flung places will become principal players in the marketplace."

Mitchell AllanThis lecture is a large source of information regarding the idea that in this new age 'globalisation 3.0' the world has theoretically become flat. In that it’s no longer a question of whether you have to travel north, south, east or west to get to your destination but rather you can complete a task that previously needed you to cross borders in comfort of your home through fibre optic cables and essentially the internet. This is relevant to my question in terms of the benefits that have arisen from this, Friedman gives certain examples that highlight these positives, e.g. in sourcing and the fact that many large companies now don’t have to manage there own goods cutting down costs thus maximising profits and also worldwide business co-operation for example Firefox was created by two people, one from America and one from New Zealand. This would not have been possible without globalisation and so from the shoes of business and entrepreneurs it’s a great advancement. It’s also whilst watching brought to light many ideas on my own head that contrast the ones being argued. Friedman mentions the role of individuals in globalisation and the fact we can now print off our own ticket for a flight again cutting out a middle man and making things smoother and more practical, but this means the middle man loses his job and the further we develop and the more globalisation helps advance this e.g. the “steroids” he mentions then the less need for human labour there will be and thus maybe creating more unemployment and lack of a lack of jobs.

Samuel TomkinsonThis lecture discusses the large scale social and economic changes that have, in his words, 'left the worl flat'. Friedman discusses how the internet has played a large part in this process leading to the emergence of such globalizing as outsourcing. He also indicates the rise of three economical powers; Russia, China and India, and describes the affect they, and such disasterous events as 9/11, have on USA. This is relevent to my my coursework as it shows growing between power nations and the affect it has on public relations. This also gives warning signs to increase pollution that occurs when economic powers collide.

Meruyert Imangaliyeva“When I was growing up in Minneapolis, my parents always said, “Tom, finish your dinner. There are people starving in China and India.” Today I tell my girls, “Finish your homework, because people in China and India are starving for your jobs.” And in a flat world, they can have them, because there’s no such thing as an American job anymore” says Thomas L. Friedman. Furthemore he says that world created a flat: a global platform for multiple forms of sharing knowledge and work, irrespective of time, distance, geography and language (Thomas L. Friedman, 2005).
He covered all stages of globalisation, and tells how it was started from the begining. In other words he tells history of globalisation. I choose this video, because it relates to my essay question through explaining why and how globalisation was happened.

Friedman says these flatteners converged around the year 2000, and “created a flat world: a global, web-enabled platform for multiple forms of sharing knowledge and work, irrespective of time, distance, geography and increasingly, language.”
