The first time I heard the term "The Global Economy," I shrugged it off as the latest in a list of industry buzz words that come and go. Even the influx of foreign auto companies into the United States seemed to be a watered down version of what I imagined for a true international commerce system. After all, many plants were building on American soil and depending on U.S. companies for the success of their businesses. Perhaps I was naïve then, but now I’m firmly convinced of The Global Economy and its direct effect on us. Square Root has long been doing business throughout the United States. And, now, we’re excited to say we have a client based in Mexico. Phone, Web meetings and, of course, e-mail have been invaluable tools, helping us successfully navigate through a Web site development project with a client we have yet to meet face-to-face. Unfiltered, international business. This is what I envisioned The Global Economy to be about. And it’s only a matter of time until its effects are more widely felt by all of us. With the expanding use of the Internet and the decreasing of barriers (and the weak <groan> U.S. dollar), more and more people throughout the world are seeking good ol’ American ingenuity. Hang on for the ride because the future – with many more true global opportunities – is setting up to be exciting.
