Small and Smaller: The third era of globalization is shrinking the world from size small to a size tiny.
By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN, March 4, 2004
Globalization 3.0 Produced by three forces:
•Massive installation of undersea fiber-optic cable and bandwidth (thanks to the dot-com bubble) that have made it possible to globally transmit and store huge amounts of data for almost nothing.
•Second, the diffusion of PC's around the world.
•Third, the convergence of a variety of software applications — from e-mail, to Google, to Microsoft Office, to specially designed outsourcing programs — that, when combined with all those PC's and bandwidth, made it possible to
create global "work-flow platforms."
