Shift Happens

During one of our firm meetings covering how globalization will impact our firm and our jobs over the next decade, this video was presented and it sparked some pretty interesting debate and discussion on how rising countries like China and India could potentially impact the way we do our jobs, how important education is and how everyone is in a race to the top. This video – Shift Happens – is a must see if you’re interested in globalization- it’s had over a million views on YouTube in the last few months, which, in itself, shows you how fast information travels.

One thing I noticed, it says China will become the largest English speaking country, that can’t be accurate right? If you think about it, 30% of Indians speak English, but India is not the largest English speaking country, or is it?

Good Question – The statistics in the clip are actually taken directly from THE WORLD IS FLAT. I think what they’re trying to get at is that China will have the largest population of English speakers – more than India – even in the case of India…30% of a billion people is still comparable to the entire population of the U.S., right? btw…Thanks for the comment…and thanks for the theme. ;-)
