The World Is Flat
Flattener #4 Uploading (Harnessing the power of communities)
This flattener is explaining uploading, and how did it have a great impact on communications. People by using the Internet became able to upload their work on the web to share with others. People now can upload their books music, video, and thoughts without having to publish it or give to an organization to do that for them, and people usually can download these things for free. As instance for this, the website Wikipedia.
Flattener #5 Outsourcing
As Friedman argues, Outsourcing allowed many companies to assign jobs activities to people around the world because of the Internet. Moreover, it explains how India benefited from the dot-com bust. America hired many Indians people to them their work because Indians can do the work efficiently and with less cost as a reason for the education they had in high school. Also, I would mention the three untouchable jobs. Jobs that cannot be outsourced like: specialized, localized, and adaptable.
Flattener #6 Offshoring (Running with Gazelles, Eating with Lions)
Offshoring, is when a company moves its factories from one country to another because the other country has a less taxes rate and less payment average. When China joined The World Trade Organization in 2001, offshoring reached its highest rate because China confirmed to all the international laws and makes it clear that investing in China is secure and beneficial. In Friedman opinion this the most disruptive flattener because it causing a threat to the United States. Many factories are now choosing china for investment instead of America.
