"Globalization 3.0" will be more diverse business people.
American companies outsource medicine, science, and computing because foreign countries provide better-skilled, more productive people and all at a much better salary.
This generation of Americans are lazy and their education is obsolete. Quoted from Bill Gates, CEO of Microsoft, in the article cited below : . . ."I am terrified for our work force of tomorrow. In math and science, our 4th graders are among the top students in the world.
By 8th grade, they're in the middle of the pack.
By 12th grade, U.S. students are scoring near the bottom of all industrialized nations"
Thomas Friedman says :
-Americans have three growing gaps : Ambition, a reduced quantity of educated people in science and engineering, and Education.
-it takes 15 years to train a good engineer
-"girls, finish your homework -- people in China and India are starving for your jobs"
Handy trivia :
1989 : fall of Berlin wall
1989 : MS release of Windows 3.0
1995 : Netscape interface to the Internet
And finally a new word for me; Insourcing vs. outsourcing.
Lets get motivated! I am one-in-a-million, but if I lived in China there would be 1300 others just like me!
friedman, thomas. Its a flat world, after all. NYTimes, 4/3/05
