The world is flat 3.0

Learning about The World Is Flat project caught me off guard when i saw it has been downloaded 70,000 times. It is good software that is changing the way people do stuff. It allows new ways to surf the internet. Many things i learned is the project collected a trillion dollars in just five years. It’s a company that made a lot of money. It was started on Feb, fifteenth of 2004.

World is flat allows new things to happen when it comes to the internet. Able to download any content and keep it as your own is a remarkable thing. Also anything that you do can be uploaded for the world to see, which helps many people trying to be heard. The man started with New York Times, a very popular magazine. With new projects coming into play, there will be more jobs available. More people are coming into the world and could always use a job.

I feel The Flat Classroom Project will be a big help with social skills. I will be able to work with people around the world that i won’t even see face to face. But that is one thing i do not like about the project. I personally like to work face to face with one another. Not able to communicate in the same room may cause difficulties with some of the students. But being able to meet new people that you would have never met in a lifetime seems to be pretty cool. I wonder exactly how the project will work. How exactly do we share when we are so far away?
