The world is flat.

17 10 2008

I just saw a video about talking about the concept of the world being flat. We know it is not really flat, what it means is that people on the other side of the world can have jobs that we can have because of outsourcing. Outsourcing is when some one else can have your job and they don’t live in the same state. The big message was that America is kind of going down hill and it may be harder to get jobs. See the video at http://www.teachertube.com.

One significant thing is that in china they have more honor students than we have students. This is significant because that means that they are probably getting more education.

This video made me see things in a new way. You should pick a job that is not easy to out source. Things like doing research for another person can be easily out sourced. Some else can do the work and charge a lower price.

Karl Fisch made this video. Here is his web cite.http://www.lps.k12.co.us/schools/arapahoe/fisch/fischbowlpresentations.htm. You go take a look if you are interested.
