This book is an international bestselling book by Thomas L. Friedman is telling us about how the world began to flat. The world began to flat on this date, 11/9/89. It is start from the fall of the Berlin wall which means that the capitalism and communism of economic systems are going to fall. Due to the date, the revolution of the windows are went up (the computer and internet are going to flattened the world). The world is start to democracy system and people can get in touch with other over the continent. The Berlin wall makes us blind, our ability to think about the world as a single market, a single ecosystem and a single community. We are going to the global policy than the eastern and western policy that is now gone. It make the as a common standard. The rise of computer and PCs after the fall of the wall can give us a clear view of the world as a single unified community. People can start to gather information from outside of their country. This is when the era of Globalization 3.0 is started. There are three eras that flattened the world. It start from country 1.0 which is mean that people are care how to make their country well known or to free their country. We can also know as loyal to country. Then the Company 2.0 era is started to flat the world a little bit. This company era is where people started to do everything about their company to make sure their company well known or have a place in this world like IBM company that everyone know about their invention. Another era that are really flattened this world is Globalization 3.0 era, people now more to do all about them. For example, everyone knows who Osama Bin Laden is. So in this globalization people now can promote themselves to other just by their fingertip. It like “me and my machine can make me people in my company and other country recognized me”. There are many way that can make people to interact with other from other continent and country. As we all know, in this era internet is a powerful tool that can help people to express themselves. There many social webs that people can join such as Facebook, Friendster and others. It is what we call globalization which is means that world without boundary and it flattened the world so much.
