Nandan Nilekani, C.E.O. of the Indian software giant Infosys, gave me a tour the other day of his company's wood-paneled global conference room in Bangalore. . . . "We can have our whole global supply chain on the screen at the same time," holding a virtual meeting, explained Mr. Nilekani. The room's eight clocks tell the story: U.S. West, U.S. East, G.M.T., India, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, Australia. . . . .
Compare and contrast how it affects Infosys and Al Qaeda are affected by the Internet. Discuss both the dangers and opportunities associated with postmodernism.
