Food for thought:

| Tay Ninh, Vietnam before Internet |
Our "blog engine" tells us (by country) where the blog is being read. Below is a snapshot of recent activity at Pudelpointer Chronicles. The data is pretty mundane, but it does show things that are interesting in a general sense. For instance, today we had nearly as many pageviews in Russia as we did in the USA. Even Vietnam showed up again on the chart!
The data changes daily. Yesterday, I was looking at several hits from China. A few weeks ago, Thailand and Indonesia showed up again! Of course, European countries are always "active".
The world may not have been a "flat playing field" when the Pudelpointer breed was created, but with the advent of modern technology, it's certainly flat now. With technology, opportunity is nearly everywhere. Not only can someone read the posts in his/her own home, but that same individual can click a button and the text is automatically translated into the reader's own language! It matters not whether the reader is in Nome, Alaska or Queensland, Australia or Novgorod, Russia.
Whatever the subject-- dog training, engineering, software design, cooking, writing novels and non-fiction to name a few--today a person can work from a small hut in Tonga or from a hi-rise in Manhatten and effectively compete in the marketplace of ideas.
Indeed, the world HAS become flat!
Now if we can just keep from sailing off the edge.......
