In-forming - One of the world's flattener

In-forming is the individual’s personal analog to uploading, out-sourcing, supply-chaining, and offshoring.

In-forming is the ability to build and deploy your own personal supply chain – a supply chain of information, knowledge, and entertainment.

In-forming is about self-collaboration – becoming your own self-directed and self-empowered researcher, editor, and selector of entertainment, without having to go to the library or the movie theater or through network television.

In-forming is searching for knowledge.
(Thomas L. Friedman, 2005, pg 179)
