Implications for IT It's not just words: a lot of communication comes
through non-verbal communication.
Without seeing and hearing non-verbals, it is easier to misunderstand the words.
Beware of words-only communications like email. It is very easy to misunderstand what is said, even if emoticons (smileys ) are used.

The World is Flat
The world is "flat" in the sense that globalization has leveled the competitive playing fields between industrial and emerging market countries
This flattening is a product of a convergence of personal computer with fiber-optic micro cable with the rise of work flow software.
