Is the flat world a good thing for America?

The flat world is in some ways a good thing for America. Consumers get a lot of the benefit of the flat world. With all the supply-chains, off-shoring, and the other flatteners America consumers get quality products for cheaper prices. American businesses also benefit from the flat world. They can get cheap and smart labor oversees and make good money here in America. You just have to be a big CEO of a company to insure your place in the flat workforce of America. Another benefit of a flat world is technology and the way everyone in the world is connected. The technology of the flat world has made everything so much easier. They are coming up with new ways all the time to continue making the world even flatter. An example is supply-chaining. Walmart has machines packing and doing everything that used to be manual labor. Technology also connected everyone globally, which could eventually become a really good thing. If America educates our people better than they have to keep up with India and other countries, and keeps upgrading technology we should really benefit from the flat world. We just need to get our jobs. We will be in competition with China and India and if we are educated and once again better in the jobs we do and created, America is going to benefit a lot. If we outsource and off-shore less, cut the competition down we will make more money. In order for America to benefit even more, changes need to be made.
