The World is Flat.

        Throughout this video I learned a lot. There were many concepts expressed in Thomas Freedman's speech, but the one I found the most interesting is that America won't always be number one. He talked about how that more countries are getting better educated and specialized in more than one subjects. He created an iron rule for business which was whatever can be done will be done. So he is pushing american engineers and others to reach for their full potential, so that America can stay on top as number one. Individual imagination will be the key to success for whichever country becomes number one.

         Freedman talks about how whoever finds the first clean safe energy source will be the next number one in this world. He stresses the importance of creativity and how America isn't in fact ahead of everyone and countries are catching up. He talks about how Americans should be studying more topics because "The New York Times needs engineers" and people who can think outside of the box are needed everywhere because imagination is the key to success for each country and if you don't think of it someone else will. That is why students are studying more than one subject and getting backgrounds in different subjects. They encourage students now to go study more than one subject that interests them to better suit them to any work environment.

          I have lots of questions for the how the flat classroom project will work. I wonder which countries will the students be from and how well they will speak English. I wonder how the time zone barrier will work between us. I have some concerns with what they might think about America and whether or not they will be biased against us at first. But after getting to know them I would want to know if they still think the same about America.    

OneNote

     OneNote is a new Microsoft program that is was created to change how people take notes. It offers everything that Microsoft Word has and more. There are many features to One note that make it superior to all other note taking software. Such as it automatically cites everything for you making it impossible to plagiarize. OneNote also works with old documents of any kind and can rearrange or re-create them and put them up there. One of the best things about this program is how you never need to save. It automatically saves every second, so if your computer ever crashes you won't need to stress out about saving your notes.

     The point of OneNote was mostly for students but this program can make anyones life easier especially students. This program exceeds all over note taking programs because of all of its tools and extras that help one take notes. OneNote's main competitor is EverNote which is the a free online software that has less features than OneNote but they try to grab the main concept. OneNote offers a lot of things that microsoft office doesn't have. It offers all of the things office has, and much more such as the auto citing feature, which automatically cites all of your media grabbed from the web.
     There are so many options that a person could use for OneNote. For instance OneNote could be used in math to take pictures of the book and then be able to write in the book on screen to explain the math problem. Or a biology teacher could take a picture of an organism and then label it on screen via OneNote. OneNote could be used for so many different things and truly is the future of note taking and Microsoft.
