Interesting timing as I'm writing a white paper on technology and the growth of emerging markets (China, Latin America, India, Africa, etc.).

As global barriers break down, so will the power that the US has held for so many years. Technology is becoming the great equalizer. While the US GDP was three times that of China just last year, China is expected to match the US in this next decade. Just this year, it surpassed Japan to be the world's second largest economy.

As it becomes easier to build facilities in foreign countries, particularly in the emerging markets, the US and it's labor force are going to need to retool to remain competitive on a global scale. Many US companies have already realized they cannot claim "made 100% in the USA" and stay in business anymore.

“Hi John,Thank you for your feedback. Yes, bubble charts / scatter plots are not an invention of the Big Data age. But they are one of the best visualizations for Big Data - so my point was to show how perfectly some of the new data sets and use cases (such as tweeter data & call center log ...”
