The world isn’t so flat May 10, 2007

Posted by Andy Roberts in : Pajamanation , trackback

This emerges from my draft posts folder, but I’m puzzled by the title. Who thought the world was flat in the first place? I suppose service such as pajamanation could be seen as helping to flatten the world a little bit, by bringing equal global access to some particular niches of work opportunities. The infrastructure of the internet has a tendency to do that, but then it can create its own areas of complexity as well. If entropy was a universal fact then we wouldn’t be here at all and all the matter and energy in the world would be equally dispersed as a blanket of low density dust instead of thrown up into galaxies, planets, cities and web communities.

edublogs: The world isn’t as flat as we think
Once more the world is changing, to one where it’s no longer cheap labour and cheap ideas that you get out of the emerging economies of this planet. You’re now getting top class ideas, inspiration, creativity - and top salaries - which are on a more level playing field that most Westerners can quite comprehend.
