| What business will look like in 2010 |
More global than it is today. People will be doing business with countries, organizations and individuals that would be regarded as amazing. Automation will make critical communication easier to accomplish. Communication will include voice and video as recorded "documents" that become part of a collection. Money exchange will take place faster, with more security. Computers will be smaller and smaller, and will respond to voice and eye movements. Distance meeting and learning centers will be more prevalent, with video capabilities making things much more "friendly". Our world will be smaller, and more dynamic. We will know more people in more places than we do now. |
