The following quote says a lot about how far we’ve come as a connected world:

“JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Rickety minibus taxis weave between corrugated iron shacks, dodging street hawkers and the odd scrawny child with trousers gaping at the knee.

Alexandra is one of South Africa’s roughest townships and yet you can switch on your laptop there, slide in a data card and access your email in seconds using the world’s most advanced commercial wireless technology.“

Would you have expected this scenario even just a couple of years ago?  As Friedman elaborates in The World Is Flat, we are truly in the midst of a time when work can indeed be performed from literally anywhere on the globe.  And the resulting challenges to our business models will be no less significant.

Can you envision where we will be a couple of years from today?
