What are the potential negative consequences to a flat world?

Internationally, potential negative consequences could be a huge job lose. If we outsource and off-shore more jobs are going to open up in other countries and eventually there will be a masive job lose in the United States. Also America itself in my opinion will lose its edge. India had done a great job educating its natives. America has suffered in the department and its come back to bit us in the butt. Over the years jobs are going to become more and more scarce. People growing up will have to compete with people oversees, and us being less educated, they are more likley to get the companies and the jobs. With all of this happening, America is not on top anymore. We are less of a threat and that opens up a door for terroists. Terriorsts could be a huge consequence to America.
