The Great Convergence
We are in a convergence of three powerful, technological forces: (1) Cheap and ubiquitous computing devices (2) Low-cost, high bandwidth (3) Open standards
![Page 24: Thomas Freidman’s Ten Flatteners](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/568139e5550346895da19c2a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Great Convergence (continued)
In essence, we have computing everywhere and anywhere, anytime and all the time, with access to limitless amounts of information, services, and entertainment.

The Great Convergence (continued)
We have the creation of a global, Web-enabled playing field that allows for multiple forms of collaboration – the sharing of knowledge and work – in real time, without regard to geography, distance, or, in the near future, even language.
The field now includes some 3 billion new people, formerly digitally disenfranchised.
