Bandwidth increases to homes and offices. These increases will change how people use computers and the Internet. Explosive growth in E-commerce, education, and new work styles could follow the cable modem or ADSL installers. Managing all the surrounding technology could make the effort to fix year 2000 problems look like a warm-up exercise. Virtual agents from secretaries to shoppers will change how people conduct business. While systems such as General Magic's Portico are still new, the power of using a tireless 24-hour-a-day assistant to off-load administrative work will give back precious think time to professionals. ---------------------------------------------------------- remember portico is not just a personal secretary,in the future she will be able to find any information for you on the internet,book travel plans,get prices on computers,find a person,pay a bill,anything you want she will do. This is gm's mobile agent technology(patented) Imagine if everybody on the internet had one/wanted one of these agents to do all the tedious work of reading through web sites trying to find whatever they're looking for. mike
