There is a book called "The World is Flat" by Thomas Freidman, it illistrates the fact that due to the emerging global economy and the massive growth of technology, the world is becoming flat.
I would suggest reading this book in order to better illustrate your point.

What do you mean? Of course it's flat. Look at it! See! It's flat where it's not bumpy, isnit! Believe me, it's flat all right. Where there's water/oceans it's even flatter.

One of the chief Islamic authorities in Saudi Arabia insists that it is, because the Koran doesn't say it's spherical. As far as I'm aware, it doesn't say it isn't either, but that doesn't seem to matter..

The world is flat in my town. I think all those other towns must be tilted.
