When Columbus fought against this ideas he had the backing of one of the heavyweight countries backing him.  When inventors put out new technology or new ideas into a market they have the backing of corporations that have pretty deep pockets.  Now when an individual steps into this "flat world" they have no backing, its a do or die and not a nice death where they go " oops that didn't work lets try something else" its a sucking financial black hole that if light can;t escape then individual entrepreneurs haven't a chance.
So what am I trying to say about the idea that if you have a computer, internet connection, and a plan you can compete and survive in the world of financial juggernauts like the big companies out there.  I think that the idea on its own has some merit but what is the practical limit?  For example if you are planing a will or file taxes you would probably look to one on the big companies to do it so that you know it is done correctly and that there is fiscal responsibility from the company if something goes wrong (i know that is a big assumption but lets assume that it is true)  now during your search you get a popup advertising will preparation or tax filing from Bangalore India by Mr. I.M. Alawyer.  Most people would shell out hundreds of dollars to a well know company that does these things and not worry about it, because you know the companys reputation.  MOST people are not so excited about sending hundreds of dollars to literally one in a billion guy who says he will do the will or taxes. This is the flaw i see in the concept of the buisness world is getting flat.  It is possible to do the job and that way it is flat but will people trust in a time when we all get emails every other days about rich Nigerian princes trying to send you millions of dollars if you help them...

Good in theory, not in practice.
