Small and Smaller: The third era of globalization
is shrinking the world from size small to a size tiny.
By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN, March 4, 2004
Globalization 3.0
Produced by three forces:
•Massive installation of undersea fiber-optic cable and
bandwidth (thanks to the dot-com bubble) that have made it
possible to globally transmit and store huge amounts of data
for almost nothing.
•Second, the diffusion of PC's around the world.
•Third, the convergence of a variety of software applications — from e-mail,
to Google, to Microsoft Office, to specially designed outsourcing programs —
that, when combined with all those PC's and bandwidth, made it possible to
create global "work-flow
platforms."

WORK LOAD AND HOMEWORK
“
“
We don’t have a lot of
homework at New Tech
Students at New Tech have a lot of work
to do … some of that work happens
outside of class time. But we don’t
assign the kind of work that students
normally associate with “homework”. In
addition, they have internships,
community service, senior project and
portfolio requirements. Like
professional workers, they see it as
work, not homework.
