The flat world is a good thing and a bad thing for America, in short it is a double sided sword. On one side, we as working Americans could lose our jobs to outsourcing, but it would repay by allowing our US companies to make more of a profit. Yet, we benefit from more minds thinking and acting upon goals, research, education, economics, transportation, and safety. More people can collaborate together to preform actions simply and easily. The flat world will make things safer by way of asking a better doctor on the other side of the world to look at a patients MRI for obstructions. Easier to find the information you are looking for as it is now not a question of is it out there? To, where can I find it? But.... We still need to think about the other side, more technology means more power, more power currently relates to more fossil fuel that is needed. We can see this in China, their country is exploding with population and technology everywhere! They need more fuel and they are producing so much pollution they turn their sky grey. So yes, I think the flat world is a good thing for America; but you can't just include America, the rest of the world is now tied in with us on a flattened landscape, if one of the countries suffer we now all get hit with the effects.
