Contrary to popular belief, the saying the world is flat does not mean that you will fall off after walking to the edge. According to Friedman, a flat world is a world in which the playing field has been leveled. This means that instead of competing globally through ones countries or company, people are now competing globally as an individual. With the invention of the PC and the internet, people all across the world can now communicate with one another and publish their own creative content.
In a flat world, competition is more fierce than ever and if it can be done, then someone will inevitably do it. It is now more important than ever to capitalize on new ideas, because someone else will have the same idea a second later, or maybe they had it a second before (who knows with these kinds of things?). People are now only limited in their capacity for success by their imagination. It is possible now to create and distribute ones own content throughout the entire world with the click of a few buttons (maybe more than a few, it's not an exact science).
This brings me to my next point, hash brown casserole. The term casserole added at the end of hash brown implies, to me at least, that it is some sort of salad-related food. I find it very confusing then, when I order hash brown casserole and am instead brought a side dish of what, at first glance, appears to be a mound of especially rigid rice. I believe a product description should be placed beside any food items of a questionable nature, such as hash brown casserole. Another thing that irks me is the fact that hash browns are not exactly brown. They are more of a yellowish color and I find it highly offensive that I am being lied to about not just one, but two things regarding the description of hash brown casserole. When hash brown casserole is brought to a party, nobody is even happy about it... just bring chips or something next time (I'm talking to you Kyle. Nobody wants your damned hashbrown casserole!).
