| 7c3dece | The supernova is enabling a deeper revolution that is just beginning, spurred by learning platforms such as Udacity, edX, and Coursera, that will change the very metabolism and shape of higher education and, one hopes, lift the adaptability line in the way that | Thomas L. Friedman | ||
| 3cfc6f0 | To graduate, Miller added, all Olin students "must complete a yearlong engineering design project in small teams with a corporate sponsor that provides financial support for each project. The projects require a corporate liaison engineer and often involve nondisclosure agreements and new product development." Olin" | Thomas L. Friedman | ||
| e91f1a5 | It happened in 2006 when the company's COO and soon-to-be CEO, Randall Stephenson, quietly struck a deal with Steve Jobs for AT&T to be the exclusive service provider in the United States for this new thing called the iPhone. Stephenson knew that this deal would stretch the capacity of AT&T's networks, but he didn't know the half of it. The iPhone came on so fast, and the need for capacity exploded so massively with the apps revolution, tha.. | Thomas L. Friedman | ||

| 3be3350 | In my two memos to Bojia I explained that there is no set formula for writing a column, no class you attend, and that everyone does it differently to some degree. But there were some general guidelines I could offer. When you are a reporter, your focus is on digging up facts to explain the visible and the complex and to unearth and expose the impenetrable and the hidden--wherever that takes you. You are there to inform, without fear or favo.. | Thomas L. Friedman | ||
| f2d1fdd | Los flujos de informacion y conocimiento resultantes estan haciendo que el mundo no solo este interconectado e hiperconectado, sino que sea tambien interdependiente: todo el mundo en todas partes es ahora mas vulnerable ante las acciones de cualquiera en cualquier parte. | Thomas L. Friedman | ||
| 9d03434 | Sustainability is today's freedom crusade, because the next generation will not live free--will not have the freedom to pursue its economic dreams or to delight in all that nature has to offer--if our approach to the financial world and the natural are not grounded in sustainable values. That lack of sustainability will constrict everything in our lives. It will limit everything we might want to do. Unless we become less dependent on hydroc.. | Thomas L. Friedman | ||

| bc12f02 | At heart, this perfect storm involves the collision of an older generation of American engineers and scientists who are retiring at the same time that a younger generation is not stepping into their shoes in sufficient numbers--and at the same time that the foreigners who used to make up the difference are either staying home or being kept out of America for security reasons. | Thomas L. Friedman | ||
| 132f1e6 | According to Darwin's Origin of Species, it is not the most intellectual of the species that survives; it is not the strongest that survives; but the species that survives is the one that is able best to adapt and adjust to the changing environment in which it finds itself. Applying this theoretical concept to us as individuals, we can state that the civilization that is able to survive is the one that is able to adapt to the changing physi.. | Thomas L. Friedman | ||

| ef003fb | Would you buy a used car from your occupier? For the first six months of the intifada, Ehud Gol was the official Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman. Every day he had to go before the world's press and defend Israel's treatment of the Palestinians. But in the spring of 1988, Gol was made the Israeli Consul General in Rio de Janeiro and he had to sell his car before he left the country. Practically the first place he went was to a Palestinian.. | Thomas L. Friedman | ||

| 128383d | Disruption' is what happens when someone does something clever that makes you or your company look obsolete. 'Dislocation' is when the whole environment is being altered so quickly that everyone starts to feel they can't keep up. | Thomas L. Friedman | ||
| d4e8dbf | Let's get one thing straight: The robots are not destined to take all the jobs. That happens only if we let them--if we don't accelerate innovation in the labor/education/start-up realms, if we don't reimagine the whole conveyor belt from primary education to work to lifelong learning. | Thomas L. Friedman | ||
| 51a93f5 | Indeed, there is a mismatch between the change in the pace of change and our ability to develop the learning systems, training systems, management systems, social safety nets, and government regulations that would enable citizens to get the most out of these accelerations and cushion their worst impacts. | Thomas L. Friedman | ||
| 29df729 | So what then is "climate change"? As the WMO defines it, "climate change refers to a statistically significant variation in either the mean state of the climate or in its variability, persisting for an extended period (typically decades or longer)." The important thing to keep in mind here is that the climate changes because it is forced to change. And it is forced to change either by natural forces or by forces introduced by mankind. In ot.. | Thomas L. Friedman | ||

It is amazing how much value you can create with the words "Hey, what you added is really cool. Nice job. Way to go!" Millions of hours of free labor are being unlocked by tapping into people's innate desires to innovate, share, and be recognized for it." | Thomas L. Friedman | ||

| 047d4b8 | set myself the task of starting with a blank sheet of paper and asking not what it means to be a "conservative" or a "liberal" today (frankly, who cares?) but rather how we maximize the resilience and self-propulsion of every citizen and community in America--that is, their ability to both absorb shocks and keep progressing in this age of accelerations. It is a different approach to politics--a necessary one, I believe--and it yields a poli.. | Thomas L. Friedman | ||
| 09c4cf9 | Let's repeat that: We are now in a no-analogue world. That means we're somewhere that we've never been before as a human species. We have pushed all of Earth's key systems up to and maybe beyond the safe operating boundaries that defined the Holocene. | Thomas L. Friedman | ||
| 0bb733b | Get used to it. The weather may feel like science fiction, but the science underlying it is very real and mundane. It takes only a small increase in global average temperatures to have a big effect on weather, because what drives the winds and their circulation patterns on the surface of the earth are differences in temperature. So when you start to change the average surface temperature of the earth, you change the wind patterns--and then .. | Thomas L. Friedman | ||
| a17e657 | It is so easy to demonize free-market and the freedom to outsource and offshore because it is so much easier to see people being laid off in big bunches, which makes headlines, than to see them being hired in fives and tens by small and medium-sized companies, which rarely makes news. | optimism perception perspective | Thomas L. Friedman | |
| 53f58f4 | Everything and anything is raw fodder for creating heat or light. It all depends on the connections you make and insights you surface to buttress your opinion. More broadly speaking, though, I told Bojia, column writing is an act of chemistry--precisely because you must conjure it up yourself. A column doesn't write itself the way a breaking news story does. A column has to be created. This act of chemistry usually involves mixing three bas.. | Thomas L. Friedman | ||
| 912c404 | When we got hit with 9/11, it was a once-in-a-generation opportunity to summon the nation to sacrifice, to address some of its pressing fiscal, energy, science, and education shortfalls - all the things that we had let slide. But our president did not summon us to sacrifice. He summoned us to go shopping. | Thomas L. Friedman | ||

All of this connectivity means significantly lower barriers to entry and movement, accelerating change and the increasing occurrence of extreme, disruptive events, all of which put significant pressure on our institutions ... On a personal level, the example I use is a billboard that used to be up on a highway here in Silicon Valley which asked a simple qu.. | Thomas L. Friedman | ||
