Expansion Through Technology

The Internet has affected our country in many ways.  Tom Friedman states:

"The third flattener was a quiet revolution in software and transmission protocols, which I call the 'Work Flow Revolution' because of how it made everyone's computer and software interoperable- thus enabling work to flow farther and faster through internal company networks, the Internet and the World Wide Web. Suddenly, so many more people could work together on so many different things" (p.30, Hot, Flat and Crowded,  Tom Friedman)

     Although the Internet has some bad qualities, it is our business, social, financial and knowledge acquiring connection in this technologically advanced society. The Internet has vastly broadened individuals capabilities to connect to one another. This has resulted in the extreme increase in size and speed of the business world. On top of this increase in speed and expansion, the Internet has an unlimited amount of options and uses. It allows so many people to work on a variety of different things as well as sharing it with each other for business as well as pleasure. With its seemingly unlimited options, the Internet is truly the mastermind behind the "Work Flow Revolution".
