Today, Mr. Bruns wore a sweater vest. A striped sweater vest. We then discussed more of Thomas Friedman's...thing.This, is basically what I learned (:8. Give two examples of “open-sourcing”.Mozilla Firefox. Linux operating system. “Linux is the free version of Windows vista.”Open sourcing is basically using free alternatives. Instead of buying Windows Vista, use Linux.10. What are the “steroids” according to Friedman?Wireless, voice over internet, and file sharing. Turbo charging all the other forms of collaborating. Talking to anyone over any device anytime. Cell phones.11. According to Friedman, how do people need to change in the future to succeed in a “flat world”?Thinking horizontally. Being ready by not avoiding technology. Adapting to the new waves of life, or else your going to struggle later in life.12. Why should young people be concerned with the “flat world”?If your not you’ll be behind. Competing with every other young person in the world.13. Define what Friedman means by the “flat world” now that you watched the video.Making a global web enabled platform for multiple forms of sharing knowledge and work. Unrespectable of time, distance, geography, and language. The flat world has gotten rid of all of these aspects.Then we went into free choice blogs. Uh, there are millions of people with birth certificates. I guess I didn't know that, you get restricted from doing many things. There was a 5 year old girl found in a ditch. The mother sold her into the sex slave trade. Siiiick.
