By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN, March 4, 2004
•Third, the convergence of a variety of software applications — from e-mail, to Google, to Microsoft Office, to specially designed outsourcing programs — that, when combined with all those PC's and bandwidth, made it possible to
create global "work-flow platforms."
Globalization 3.0
Produced by three forces:
•Massive installation of undersea fiber-optic cable and bandwidth (thanks to the dot-com bubble) that have made it possible to globally transmit and store huge amounts of data for almost nothing.
•Second, the diffusion of PC's around the world.

WORK LOAD AND HOMEWORK
We don’t have a lot of homework at New Tech“
“
Students at New Tech have a lot of work to do … some of that work happens outside of class time. But we don’t
assign the kind of work that students normally associate with “homework”. In
addition, they have internships, community service, senior project and
portfolio requirements. Like professional workers, they see it as
work, not homework.
