My latest read – The Post-American World
Fareed Zakaria’s The Post-American World is an enjoyable read. Most would recognize his CNN show Fareed Zakaria GPS. He has also participated in the World Economic Forum in Davos. The bottom line: The US is not falling behind, but rather quite simply the world is catching up. Some amazing technologies are lifting the citizens of [...]

China’s internet growth tops US
To no surprise globalization is bringing the world closer together and thereby making commerce “smaller” and faster as global financial markets increase the efficiency of established information systems. Recent growth of internet penetration has changed dramatically. Today China has more internet users than America has citizens.
Consider this form IF you can image everyone you know [...]

Chinese cyberattacks on US Government
This does not leave me sleeping well at night. It should bother you:
“When the US Department of Defense is the target of no fewer than 128 information infrastructure attacks per minute from China, and we discover that while DoD is almost universally using off-the-shelf Microsoft Windows systems while China is engaged in working toward 100% [...]
My latest read: Who Controls the Internet?
Think the internet is still the wild west? Think again. In a new update of Who Controls the Internet?: Illusions of a Borderless World law professors Jack Goldsmith and Tim Wu share how the long arm of foreign governments still can stretch the illusion that the internet (and thereby globalization) are shrinking the world.
On the [...]

My latest read – Hot Property
Its all in the timing. The global economic crisis has placed my latest read Hot Property: The Stealing of Ideas in an Age of Globalization into a pretty unique light. Regardless of the delay in the US economy the impact of globalization, technology and good old corporate espionage has impacted the world’s stage in manufacturing [...]

YouTube in America and China
This week my colleague ijohnpederson blogged about YouTube’s January analytical results. For the first time over 100 million internet users in the U.S. watched 6.3 Billion videos. In the globalized world today that number is not very big. Consider how the world is connecting to the internet in larger and larger numbers:

My latest read – Hot, Flat and Crowded
Over the long holiday I finally finished Tom Friedman’s book Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution–and How It Can Renew America. The book is a mixed blessing. Friedman has written one of the best books to understand the emergency need for a global environmental revolution.
Friedman provides detailed examples of how the [...]
