Google可能会成为世界变平的首要力量"

世界是平的。小学生都知道错了。
可就是有一位专栏作家,把他的发现写成了书。
而且很畅销,从美国,畅销到中国来了。
这周一,在Google中国,老头子弗里德曼来布道了。

他告诉大家,为什么发现世界是平的,为什么担忧美国跟不上时代。
他给美国人,给美国企业,给美国政府提供了很多建议。
或许,再过5年,小学生讲地理的时候,必须标注:
地球是圆的,世界是圆的,如果听说世界是平的,那是专栏作家弗里德曼在胡说。

弗里德曼很会演讲,看来是写作人的本色。而且很会拿现场人开玩笑。google李开复,他就开了几个玩笑。当他透露说第11个使世界变平的力量是纳米技术的时候,我想笑了。

从2000年,《商业周刊》开始谈纳米技术可能对世界经济的影响,到现在,我们除了发现一些商人利用"纳米"概念搞了一些欺诈人的事情外,似乎并没有给这个世界带来革命性的改变。就跟RFID技术一样,我认为RFID这个东西可能会改变世界,至少改变零售业,物流行业,使这个世界会变得更加简单快捷。但至今RFID的推广并没有想象中那么块。纳米也一样。

既然老弗里德曼预测纳米科技会是第十一个碾平世界的力量,我个人觉得还不如压宝在RFID技术应用上。老弗里德曼在他的书中曾经在讲到沃尔玛的物流时谈到 RFID,但这仅仅是一个应用,如果全球推开了RFID技术,这就有如浏览器之对互联网,uploading之对社会网络。其变革可能远比纳米科技显示的效果强。不过,也许是我的一厢情愿。

我那天拍了一些照片,老弗里德曼的演讲也很生动,虽然他的书读熟了,但还是有几个地方没听明白,但有朋友已经把大意给修正了过来。网上可以看到。 许凤婷:全程直击弗里德曼中国之行(未完)

王鹏越:目击弗里德曼很草根(组图)

目前我还没处理照片,因为自己的硬盘空间满了:-),不得不删除一些东西再来搞了。等处理好了照片,我会发上来,大家可以自由转载。

世界是平的》,作者:托马斯弗里德曼
The world is flat, a brief history of the twenty-first century by Thomas L. Friedman

我是在google听的老弗里德曼布道,虽然观点很熟悉,但突然发现,Google已经是一家愿意更新自己所有成功观点的公司。或许几年后,我们都认同世界变平了,google是不是会成为世界变平的首要力量。谁知道呢。现在是所有的企业都跟微软在战斗,也有人写成与Marco$在战斗。5年后呢,会不会所有的企业都开始跟Google在战斗?谁知道呢……
