Once, my 12-year-old son asked what the first, second, and third worlds are. I said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are\nstanding by a swimming pool on the roof of a hotel, with an ice-cold Coca-Cola\nin your hand. This is the first world.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you see that person walking down the street to an Internet cafe? This is the second world.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you see that person riding a donkey cart down the street? This is the third world.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This explanation is likely adequate for a 12-year-old; however, it would be inadequate for a professional. These phrases have comprehensive definitions that educate and inform. Also, did you know, there is a fourth world?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find definitions of these and thousands of other phrases and terms in the KT Project\u2019s Glossary of Common Industry and Project Terminology<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n
