>>>The existence of specialized overnight delivery systems which reach around the globe, combined with world wide networking will make most business a net based affair...<<< It raises all sorts of interesting possibilities about shipping and warehousing which can increase sales, cut costs, improve efficiency, and create win-win relationships all over the palce. As a quick example of the type of thing we may see more of world wide: I recently spent some time with a mucky-muck for a global shipping company which I won't name (brown trucks). I was asking him about pnlk's concept and he gave me this example. Besides just delivering stuff, they've gone into warehousing. When you order a computer from South Dakota, the folks at that company build the box for you from a lean inventory of components supported by just-in-titme-delivery. But, they never see, touch, or take possession of the monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, etc. The global shipping company keeps these warehoused for them, receives the order realtime along with the box builders in SoDak, pulls the stuff from their warehouse, boxes it in a bovine motif, and joins it with the stuff coming out of SoDak while it is enroute to your door. All you see at the retail end is a guy in a brown uniform jump out of a brown truck and haul all your neat new computer stuff into your house/office for you. The brown truck guys can do this because they fly huge cargo jets sevel time a day from the other side of the planet where this stuff is made. Any time they need to top off a load (always fly full!), they load up with the computer stuff, warehouse it conveniently at their major hubs, and bring it all to your door as if it had all been packaged and shipped together from the git-go. By improving the ability for wholesalers and retailers to control the location and flow of stuff, great efficiencies can be achieved. Just becauuse you are trading globally, doesn't mean the stuff has to travel all over the world. I can see where pnlk's webtool will enable lots of companies to control product without having to endure the costs of physically moving it any more or futher than necessary. I can see a day soon arriving where someone smarter and more capable than myself could sit here in the buccolic rural mountain setting as I am at the moment, and with pnlk's webtool, manage international trade requirements for a company (or companies) regardless of their locations.
