“When I sat down to write ‘The

World is Flat’ in 2004,

Facebook didn’t exist,

Twitter was still a sound, the

cloud was still in the sky,

4G was a parking place,

LinkedIn was a prison,

applications were what you sent

to college, and

Skype was a typo.

That all happened in 6 years.”

New York Times columnist, and author

THOMAS FRIEDMAN
