When Friedman says "the world is flat" he is not trying to say that Christopher Columbus' discovery of a round world is incorrect. What Thomas L. Friedman means by "the world is flat" , is that technology today is leveling the turf for individuals, businesses and countries. Technology has created the link that allows companies, businesses and people to outsource, in source, offshore, inform, upload and to have better supply chaining. This is connecting the world giving individuals, companies, businesses and countries equal power. The development of technology is changing the way the world will compete for jobs, business, communication services and power. People around the world now have more equal opportunities- thus creating a flatter world.
