The last time that I checked my map of the world, Alabama was on it. So were: neighborhoods like what used to be New Orleans’ lower ninth ward; low-income states like Mississippi & Kentucky; and poorer countries like Rwanda, Afghanistan, Cambodia, Nepal, Bangladesh, Yemen, Laos, Burkina Faso, Mozambique, Haiti, Mali, Bolivia and a host of other countries that Friedman “isn’t talking about”.

Friedman’s argument that the world is flat is inherently flawed because he does not account for the majority of it. If you are interested in pursuing this conversation further and/or if you would like me to email you links to World Bank, IMF, UN or other international sources that shed light on the digital divide, please feel free to email me on yahoo (user: stolieXOXO).

Anonymous/rp: Very good points!! Although I’m not a fan of Friedman’s work (i.e. how flat is the world and/or how viral is the internet when the vast major don’t have access … you know, the “digital divide” yada yada yada), he does much in the way of raising very interesting and timely arguments.

Wouldn’t this question also apply to CNN, ABC, NBC, Larry King, even Jon Stewart and Oprah, and all the others?

Yes, others had investigated Frey’s book; but until SmokingGun did its work, few of us knew of the potential flaws with the book. The other info was too vertical– a newspaper article here, a critic there. It took a Web site, and its intrinsic “spreadability” to bring the story to the world.

SmokingGun is a great example of what Thomas Friedman would call the flattening of the world. The vertical no longer applies–it’s a viral, spread-sideways world. It’s not a matter of letting others do your thinking for you. It’s about using the world as it exists now to help you inform your thinking!
