World is Flat - Part I

I started reading book, The World is Flat, Pulitzer awarded Author is a professional writer for NewYork Times. The books is like a discussion with Friedman. He speaks out about changes in 21st century. How world is changed. How world became flat. How India and china invaded the world. Outsourcing is curse or blessing to America.

Authors profound knowledge in business and macro economics shines in every line of the book. He starts Indian offshore model. His visit to bangalore, He compares Columbus misinterpretation with America as part of India as he reached, with his finding of indians as more americanized.

Its interesting to know that ,apart from customer service and software, Preparing radiological reports for American x-rays at night, Filling of tax ,offshore personal assitance for American executives even compilation of news for reuters are happening in India. Its true that entry level salary of young indian BPO employee would be greater than retiring salary of their parents. A indian employer sits in bangalore would direct customer in Las vegas.They would market the creditcard they could never afford of having.

At personal front they are suffering a lot. Their metabolism would change. They can't meet their folks yes.. Weekends also they would be sleeping at day time. Husband and wife would meet only in the weekend

Important point author is trying to make out is, work will be done in earth where it can be most efficiently done.
