Sometime back in the early part of 2000, a friend of mine from the US pointed out while I was talking to him the importance of E-commerce, "If you have visited the Red Indian reserves in the US, you might have changed your view of the bubbly wonders in the Californian Silicon Valley".
But it came true in less than a few months with the burst of the dot.
com in California and its effect on the rest of the world.
The United States of America and the other industrial nations accelerated the speed to change the world, which exceeded the limit and learnt at a price that technological advancement alone can't change the world.
They have made good use of the world's resources, but might have triumphed more of their achievements if the indigenous and other underprivileged people around the world had shed their orthodoxy, conservatism and poverty.
Had they considered even more grants and support to uplift the living standard of these underprivileged people, they might have realised a meaningful sustainable development in many areas.
Anita Roddick employed Red Indians to collect jungle seeds in the Amazon Basin, which helped them to become jungle entrepreneurs.
She gave them in the Amazon jungles, a chance to integrate with global business.
If they want to claim the real victory of globalization they have to start with these masses in the isolated far corners of the world first.
Then only the world can claim a real victory in the process of changing the world!
