Another Watershed

Speaking of The World Is Flat, yesterday I was searching for papers on colored Petri nets.  I searched through UW's various resources and found a paper that sounded just perfect for my needs.  The abstract and keywords seemed right on.  When I accessed it, though, it was in Chinese.  And, the Web site on the Korean bus system, above, is written in Korean.  How will English-only speaking people compete in a world in which leading papers are written in Chinese and Korean?  All of this fits into Chapter 7 of Friedman's book.
