Jan 14

“But the world has gotten flat, and we all have started to become public figures to some degree – even an assistant principal in Texas – we all need to be worried about bad press.”

This quote by Friedman really caught my attention. Numerous times during our trip here has the press either taken our picture or interviewed us. After, we see our names popping up on Yahoo! India along with things we “said” (the press still has a way with words) for all the world to see.

The reality of the world we live in is information spreads like wildfire. Anything we say or do can instantly be placed online for anyone to see (YouTube videos, Facebook pictures, etc.). This is just something I normally take for granted, but is just an amazing concept.
