The world is not flat, only Internet is!

I disagree with Thomas Friedman that the world has become culturally and socially flat just because the virtual world actually is flat. How else can it be that I can virtually communicate and meet anyone I want in the world in the online social space but can't get to easily meet all of them in real life. Social globalization will be complete when people can have physical encounters with anyone in the world with the same ease that they do it online. Physical distance is still a practical big obstacle. When everyone can sleep with everyone else, only then the real world will be flat, hot and crowded, just like the internet is right now :D
