2. Introduction
In this chapter Thomas Friedman
introduces the ten factors that is leading to
globalization and flattening the world.
3. Factor 1: Collapse of Berlin Wall
The wall was constructed by the Russians in
1961 to isolate West Berlin that was at that
time occupied by the French,
American, and British. It
stood until 1989. Thomas
Friedman included this in the
ten forces that flattened the
world because with the fall
of the Berlin wall,
communism also fell.
4. Factor 2: Netscape
Netscape is a US computer services
company, best know for its web browser. It
was one of the first web browsers. Netscape is
one of the factors that led to flattening the
world, as Thomas Friedman says, because
broadened the audience that uses the
internet to everyone that
from five-years-old to eighty-five-
years-old.
5. Force 3: Work Flow Software
Work flow software always human to interact
through machines. It always human to
collaborate with each other while they are in
different work places. It is also used to move
documents through a user-defined routing
path to arrive at another work place. It also
always the receiver to modify the document if
needed. It was one of the forces because it
was thought of as a global platform for
collaboration.
6. Force 4: Uploading
Uploading is the transmission of a file from
one system to another. Uploading can also
include putting information on the web at
places such as Wikipedia, open source
software and blogs. Thomas Friedman says
that uploading allowed people to be heard
and therefore it can be the most distractive
force.
7. Force 5: Outsourcing
Outsourcing is when having different companies
working together on different parts of a company’s
project. That is because different companies can do
this job by costing less money or to save up time and
energy. For example many factories are oversee since
the labor price is lower than in the company’s
country. Thomas Friedman
argues that this has split the
work between different
services and manufacturers,
making that part more
effective and cheaper.
