It's a Small World

摘要

It is amazing to me how electronic means of communication have effectively shrunk the "size" of our world. On a smaller scale, I recently sold a house in a city four hours from where I currently reside, and all of the negotiations and signing of the requisite paperwork was handled electronically. On a larger scale, on the day I wrote this editor's note, I approved requests to join our Hydro World group on LinkedIn from Canada, China, Italy, Portugal, Russia and Spain. Other recent members of this Linkedln group have come from India, Malaysia, Pakistan, Thailand and the United Kingdom.
