The World is Flat?

According to Thomas Friedman, it is! I think America's stance is kind of a scary one. We are losing our powerful position by someone else's use of our capital investment in the internet! The US seems to have done about as much as it possibly can to help out other countries, and unfortunately it's not possible at this point to take BACK those advantages, our only hope is to outgrow those that have used our investment to their advantage. We need to come up with the next best thing, the internet is so 90's. In order for the US to stay competitive, that's exactly what we need to do - STAY COMPETITIVE. Let's not stick with the tried and true old stuff, let's get innovative and knock the socks off of those that benefited from our attempts to globalize. And this time...maybe we can keep most of those advantages in THIS country...

Will I own a Robot in the future?

OF COURSE I WILL!

Owning a robot would be fun, they might be expensive at first, but you would just depreciate that cost over it's lifetime, and I'm sure it'd be less expensive than hiring a person assistant! And if the conversation is pretty good - they'd be a great friend too! If they get more and more human and will be able to do stuff like really clean the house good, from floor to ceiling, and be able to fold laundry, send emails to clients, etc. I will most definitely be getting one!
