Business as Usual
Everyday I start to realize how much of an impact the internet has on the world... "Out of every clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony. In the middle of difficulty, lies oppurtunity". Albert Einstein
This is certainly true about the convergance of business and the internet. Friedman explains how there are rules. Its crazy because a business can slowly diminish if the rules are not obeyed. Rule number one of his rules is very true. Sometimes I almost feel like I'm prone to upgrade my facebook page everyday. Maybe its because of addiction. Or maybe I use it as a way to vent out. sometimes I feel flattened and tend to build walls. but Friedman suggests that we need to dig inside of us. I agree with that. I guess its good, just as much as it is bad. Businesses got it good on the other hand. thanks to the internet and triple convergance, businesses are going to increase in size and quality over the next couple of years. I myself am thinking of opening up my own business. and now I have to consider how can I incorporate the internet with my business. just the thought alone, makes the theory of the flattening world even broader. The only thing that I dont really agree with is outsourcing . Maybe if your company is one that requires people with specific talents or skills. but if your outsourcing to save money, then your taking the online world for granted. its amazing to see how collaberations are growing between businesses. I think its great how businesses can learn and prosper from each other. I'm starting to see the big picture. Soon there might be this notion that some of these companies will eventually merge and become these huge mega corporations. I dont know, maybe I'm getting ahead of myself.
