I have lived in Japan and Vietnam, courtesy of the United States armed services. My shoes are made in China. My television was made in Korea. My computer contains chips that were made in Malaysia.

It effects everything. If you lose your luggage on a flight, you will call India to try to locate it. If you have a brain scan, a Doctor in Australia will receive it by email to provide a second opinion, if you fill in your tax forms - Indian accountants will submit it for you from their Indian office. Your food is flown, sourced and delivered from all over the World. You no longer even need to be in the office to attend a conference, you can teleconference now. When you send your laptop off for repair via UPS, it will actually be UPS who mend it. All of this and more on the globalisation of the World comes from the book "The World is Flat - The Globalized World in The Twenty-First Century" by Thomas L. Friedman.
Amazing to see just how much our World is globalizing.

The destruction of autonomous cultures and societies. The dependence of world government. The diminishing freedom of goods and services as independent government will no longer be able to regulate monopoly markets and democracy. Corporate control of the world's populations.
