Check back on those parking lots in ten years. They will still be there but they will not be as full. Browsers, the shopping kind not the software, will always go to the mall or store. Men will shop on the net. There are only so many dollars available, so if money is spent on etailing it will not be spent at the actual store.

The degree to which the net has an effect on bricks and mortar sellers will depend on new technologies, bigger backbones (cable,adsl), 3D pictures that one can turn and view from different sides and two way video that allows you to talk to a virtual clerk.

What worked in the 16th century was Price Service and Convenience. The net has the potential to offer these in spades.

I believe it will have a huge impact.
