Connie Crosby has some great quotes from an interview with Thomas L. Friedman, author of  the book The World is Flat:  Where Were You When You Realized the World Is Flat? (Or Have You?).  Some really interesting food for thought:

We are led by lawyers who do not understand either technology or balance sheets. I am hoping, though, that many of them have kids, who, when they have a moment to take a break from their iPods, Internet, or Google, will explain to their parents running the country just how the world is being flattened.

Go to Connie’s post for a bunch more quotes, and if you are interested, buy the book.  It just made it on to my reading list.
