See more about the ten flatteners at David Graves blog or, for more in-depth, check out The Illumincated Innovant: The World is Flat.

Friedman's book outlines why The Cheap Revolution is happening. The Cheap Revolution describes how one should take advtange of it by examining how to buy on the cheap, different kinds of cheap and what kind of cheap should your company or business should present (if any) to the marketplace.
Skip Shuda will be talking more about this at the Science Center on April 5, 2006. Join us for this free event (lunch included!).
I think it's become trend that every thing should be flat even the human body. Like many women have flat figure which keeps them fit. Very interesting article.
