The reverse brain drain to India serves as something of a wake-up call
to Silicon Valley, which has already lost seasoned tech professionals
to their homelands of Taiwan and China, that it faces growing
competition for talent from these emerging tech powers.

``To the extent that there is more equitable distribution of brainpower
around the world, it is good,'' said David Heenan, a former senior
executive at Citigroup and author of ``Flight Capital: The Alarming
Exodus of America's Best and Brightest.''

Nggak banyak koment,tapi "equitable distribution of brainpower around
the world" serupa dengan Penemuan Friedman.

Harus baca David Heenan's "Flight Capital" lagi nich.

Om Carlos, terus terang menurut saya the world is flat-nya thomas friedman salah memprediksi dunia mau kemana [ciyeee hihihi], it's an effort that overgeneralize tanda-tanda di sekeliling dia, gara-gara dia udah jalan-jalan ke India/China doang.

Teori yang berlawanan dengan the world is flat ini diungkap di dalam bukunya Thomas Florida, "The Rise of The Creative Class" dan yang terbaru "The Flight of the Creative Class" [http://www.creativeclass.org/] yang intinya mau bilang kalo inovasi di setiap jaman itu diusung oleh sebuah kelas yang dia kasih term creative class.

Dan tergantung pada ingredient dari negara/reagion/kota dan effort masing-masing lah yang membuat lokasinya semenarik mungkin sehingga para anggota the creative class ini mau bermukim dan berinovasi disitu.

Great minds not only think alike but they also live nearby [hehe this is a quotation by me].
