After reading this book “The World Is Flat 3.0: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century by Thomas L. Friedman”, the New York Times columnist/reporter and expert on the Middle East, I better understand what is going on. I still do not agree with these “business practices”, but it is what it is, and it’s only going to change more. I strongly urge anyone that reads this message to consider getting this book, then pass it on to someone else, in the words of the kids…”he’s putting it down”… or “dropping knowledge” and when you hear it everything that MS, CISCO and all of these tech giants are doing is brought to light, and it IS about profits for them and how WE must adapt and continue to adapt to remain relevant. Also, he sounds like he is the new “champion” for this movement of change, but I say all change ain’t good change and sooner or later it will catch up to us.

But to comment on this article, no they don’t want our jobs, they want to BE us, they want to give US jobs, and if we keep going in this direction, they’ll succeed.
