Globalization 3.0: Early 2000, distance is removed from the business equation, and the world went from small to TINY.

The World is Flat: T Friedman
Columbus proved in 1492 that the world is round Sailors maneuvered the seas discovering lands,
people, languages as nations began trading goods around the world
The world has become flat due to technological advances connecting people in China, India and the US as if we were all next door neighbors.

Examples:
Physicians in India are reading X-rays for US hospitals
JetBlue Airways ticket agents take plane reservations for the company from the comfort of their Utah homes
Technology has eliminated some of the economic and cultural advantages developed countries enjoy, making the world a level playing field for all participants.
