There is a common misconception in Western thinking that at one time in history people believed the world was flat. This is not the case. This actually rises from a misinterpretation of an Italian text by an early 20th century text book author. As far back as Ptolemy, people knew the world was spherical. Columbus knew this when he began his voyage (he just miscalculated the circumference).

Why did Mr Fiedman think the world was flat?
I guess you didn't read the book only the title. He doesn't think the world is flat ( as in the shape of the world). His thesis is that the world is flattened because of the computer and new technology. He states that a person can sit in a cave in the outer regions of the world and have people do political acts. This has never happened in the history of the world. Before it took a nation to attack people and to wage war and now individuals can do what nations use to do. Thus, the world is flattened.
