I urge my fellow forumers (if there is such a word

) to read Thomas Friedman's "The World Is Flat"
It is a book talking the effect of technology and globalisation on the world and the effect it will have on the future of jobs and work in the developed world.
Essential reading. It will really change the way you think about business, the future, work and what that means for you as an individual in the 21st century
