| Who is at the forefront of this shrinking and flattening of the world?
• Small group of people.
Which nationalities is 3.0 going to be built around? What is the only requirement for them?
• It will build around the nations that have different color of people and different nationality.
He mentions 10 "flatteners" - which one did you find the most interesting and why? You might want to jot them down as you watch.
• Workflow software: catch-all for the standards and technologies that allowed work to flow. The ability of machines to talk to other machines with no humans involved. Friedman believes these first three forces have become a "crude foundation of a whole new global platform for collaboration." There was an emergence of software protocols. This is what “The net result "is that people can work with other people on more stuff than ever before." This created a global platform for multiple forms of collaboration. The next six flatteners sprung from this platform.
• Uploading: Communities uploading and collaborating on online projects. Examples include open source software, blogs, and Wikipedia. Friedman considers the phenomenon "the most disruptive force of all."
What do you think? Is he right? What does this mean for the world? Is the world going Horizontal?
• In my opinion that the world will not be horizontal because from scienctic point of view the world are circle not flat .

| I don't every understand it at first but, when he mention about the world economic growth and the way of the growth in technology.
I understand it clearly that he is saying that the world is now changing and it is that the Asian will be the one who have more power in technology.
