Some forms of electronic commerce are set to-business (B2B), business to consumer (B2C) or consumer to consumer (C2C). But the Internet is primarily a tool of effective intercommunication between suppliers, customers and consumers.
In 2010, I am looking for a high-speed network, congestion-free, always reliable, and large bandwidth, which is universally accessible, competitively priced and capable of driving our economy to new heights. Thus, it will give a historical change in which the analog communication came at sunset [the evening news, film at 11 pm] and will be replaced by a comprehensive communication flow, fully digitized.
As technology becomes increasingly ubiquitous, it is becoming increasingly invisible. The more chips proliferate, multiply, wifi and wimax abound, the less we notice them. As interconnections evolve, we know that chips and fiber optics have succeeded only when we have forgotten. As for measuring the success of a technology, we have to see how that technology turns invisible, the best long-term strategy is to develop products and services that can be ignored.
For 2010, the companies that make the online experience seamless, the widgets transparent and the technology behind an application invisible are the companies that will succeed.
