TED: Pankaj Ghemawat: Actually, the world isn't flat - Pankaj Ghemawat (2012)

Posted: 22 Oct 2012 08:04 AM PDT

It may seem that we're living in a borderless world where ideas, goods and people flow freely from nation to nation. We're not even close, says Pankaj Ghemawat. With great data (and an eye-opening survey), he argues that there's a delta between perception and reality in a world that's maybe not so hyperconnected after all.
