How will technology affect globalization?
Everyone seems to believe the the primary trend in the
coming years and decades will be globalization. We know that more jobs
are likely to be vulnerable to offshoring and that manufacturing will
continue to be moved to low wage countries.
However,
what will the impact of accelerating technology be on all

things in unexpected ways? Is it possible that many of
the conventional views about globablization and it impact
in the future are wrong?
