Dear Crystal Ladies, friends and guests

Please join us on 14th November 2011, 7.30pm at Crystal Toastmaster Club and enjoy the evening with the theme - Flat World 2.0

Our TME of the evening, Tan Saw Bee, have given us a preview for the night.

In 2005 Thomas Friedman wrote ‘ The World Is Flat’ . The book set the world abuzz with excitements and apprehensions about the new platform of connectivity following the merger of globalization and IT revolution . Since then the world has become flatter . We have moved from Flat World 1.0 to Flat World 2.0 . In Flat World 1.0 we were connected with people who were previously unconnected . In Flat World 2.0 the platform for connectivity has got cheaper and mobile and we are now living in a hyper-connected world .



Invocation Speaker Bonnie Ang , ACS a former IT Consultant with Andersen Consulting & IBM will talk briefly about evolution of Flat World 1.0 to Flat World 2.0 and the profound implications on politics , commerce , workplace and the skills required by individuals in order to get and hold a job .

Come and join us ............  " YOU WILL NOT REGRET ".
 
See you soon.

This was because most of the members have not been exposed to clubs outside District 102. we truly appreciated the support and opportunity rendered to us by the President, Mr.Henry Fu. The Toastmaster of the Evening Catherine Wong was only given 2 days to prepare for the meeting.
