Tom Friedman at Yale

I love Tom Friedman's ideas. I do not read the NY Times columns that he writes. But I read his book 'World is Flat' which is very well written. He takes the events in the recent past and tries to connect the dots. When I told a friend about this book, he said ' what flat !? it is round !'. I told him that Firedman does not say 'earth' is flat, he says 'world' is flat. There is difference between world and earth.

Tom's ideas appear to be very thorough at the first impression, but he does not provide hard evidence for the causes and effects that he links. But still the book is a very compelling read. He finds patterns where normally others don't.

Recently I watched his speech at Yale university via the following link.

The duration is for 1 hour. I started watching it late Friday night and could not stop it in between and watched the complete 1 hour.
