What’s going to happen to the travel industry?

06Nov06

With the advent of low cost video chat, faster bandwith and connectivity, and now
haptics on the horizon , I wonder how long it will be until retailers don’t need to travel to manufacturers to “experience” different choices in materials.

I know some meetings still might require face-to-face, real time ineraction, but how much of this is because its what we’re used to? As millennials are entering the workforce in droves, they are familiar with instant messaging tools– its just a tiny step to incorporate these new technologies into workflow if it will reduce corporate costs (or client costs if they are paying for outside consulting).
