Instead of hand writing a letter
We use a word processor and send
it by email
We don’t need to refer to an encyclopaedia to
find facts
Google and Wikipedia are popular places to
start research
Internet shopping and online business
transactions take seconds
We don’t need to be present in the shop to pay
for goods or services
Business associates don’t just keep in touch on the
telephone, or when they see each other at meetings
They keep in touch through social networking
We don’t even need to be in the same building
as our computer to check our emails
Laptops, smartphones and tablets make
business-on-the-go a reality
We don’t need to be in the same building as
our colleagues to meet with them
Conference calls and webcams make some
travel unnecessary
