The world is flat is an interesting book which creates awareness of how "flat" the world has become. It reveal the many different ways in which individuals can interact with each other no matter where they are in the world. In initial stages of the emergence of computers, they were only accesible to the government of countries. As time went on, companies had an upper hand in the use of computers and today, it is pretty much easy for any one to harness the benefits of a computer.
PCs allow individuals to to offer their unique ideas in digital form. "The world is flat" does not literally mean the world it flat. It is a platform that enables users not only to download but also to upload their content on the internet. It has transformed communication from a vertical form to a horizontal form. The iron rule of business, according to the world is flat means whatever can be done will be done and the only question is whether it will be done by you or to you. It basically means there is no limit to your capabilities. With computers, one way or another there is a way to express your idea which will benefit millions of people just as people like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates have done.
I have a feeling that the Flat Classroom project is going to broaden my scope of thinking. It will allow me to develop good and creative thinking skills. The Flat Classroom project is a very important international platform which will allow all member to appreciate the ideas of one another and in so doing learn new things and improve upon their own ideas. Who knows? we might get the new Bill Gates from the Flat Classroom project.

ReplyDeleteKojo, I love how you say "a global village." I think that it really is true that we are more alike than different. My hope for projects like these is that it brings about more tolerance and acceptance of different cultures and ways of doing things.
