The 21st century global citizen or worker

"The 21st century global citizen or worker will have to keep up with this evolution of current times. He must be a citizen of the world because companies and brands are global. He must, therefore, be a global consumer," said STI Education Services Group chairman Felipe Alfonso. "It's going to be one world, one market, one consumer, where boundaries, citizenships, ideologies, economies and businesses will blur.

Publishing to BlogSpot

I was having difficulty synchorinizing my blog entries between BlogSpot and Geocities FTP since old users were moved to the new.blogger.com server. If you will check my BlogSpot Blog, it is no longer updated simply because I could not make a connection with the new server settings. It always redirected me to FTP even I already selected BlogSpot to publish my work. Anyway, I hope this bug will be fixed soon...
