Answering the original post. I think the authors definition of 'FLAT' really confuses most readers, causing most to disagree.

However if we read this short excerpt from amazon
Quote:
What Friedman means by "flat" is "connected"
what I see is most people agree with the author's comment on the world being flat.

While I don't agree with all the authors points on what makes it flat. I do know agree that technology has been a great facilitator of this. (I.e. Internet/web browser/software)
