but if you really believe the old way of doing business is going to die,
It is not going to die. It may not expand as much, but it is not going to die.

The real Internet business is going to be business to business. It is already growing in that area and will continue to do so. Look at a simple thing like e mail.

Before I retired almost 100% of internal memos were e mail. Documents were attached to the e mail. Contracts were printed and signed. After being stored for a period of time, they were scanned and stored. No paper. Other documents were never printed. They were read, and stored for reference. This type of communication was also taking place with clients. I think in the future, paper transactions will be very few. This is where the real action is at. Not E Tail business.
