The World is Flat Book is a wake up call to everyone
I know this is a touchy subject for some people, but I feel it is timely subject to the state in which our Economy currently is in. I know from the past that things will come back around. I know the economy is like relationships, it is like a Roller Coaster ride, you have up times, down times and smooth times. But as on a Roller Coaster ride the world keeps changing fast and we need to change and adjust to it. Think how fast the world has changed just in the last 25 years. Look at Computers in 1984 to now. How often was a computer used and by how many people in 1984, not many. Look at some of the businesses that were in business in 1984 but are not in business now. Why are they not around anymore? I would suggest is they refused to change as the world was changing. They refused to re-tool and do things differently. I am reading “The World is Flat - a brief history of the Twenty - First Century 3.0″ book by Thomas L Friedman. I would suggest to add this to one of your next books you read. Think about the following:
Protect yourself so if you lose your Cell Phone or PDA
What would happen if you lost your Cell Phone or PDA today? Could someone get important information off your phone? Could they make phone calls on it and run up the bill? What could they do? I got the below article e-mailed to me and thought it would be good information for everyone to think about.
