I read an article recently in which the author cited the greatest advances in human communication. He named: 1. The invention of spoken language, 2. The invention of the alphabet/written language, 3. The invention of the printing press, and 4. The Internet.
We have the privilege of living through a revolution so profound it is on a par with the invention of language. I find it staggering.
One result is the "shrinking" of the world, and the creation of a "global village." Distances that once seemed vast have shrunk to nothing. The point has recently been brought home to me, as I received a request from a Russian legal journal to reprint some of my articles, and when another article (11 Reasons Attorneys Don't Do Marketing) was cited on blogs by my colleague Ivan Cavero in Lima, Peru and Marco Antonio in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Thanks to Ivan for the trouble he took in translating and to Marco for linking. Those of you who speak Spanish or Portuguese will greatly enjoy the blogs of both men.






Thanks so much for your recognition Mark. But your great work deserve any effort
Again, thanks a lot Mark
