Dear RF: Well, you have opened a Pandora's box with this question. I learn by reading and observing and making statements which others challenge or agree with, mostly on Lists. I have shied away from E Commerce so far as it just hasn't, in my opinion got a form - a definition and it seemed premature to try and assess what changes it will make in the Capitalistic Model. That it will have a major effect is undeniable. Will it change work patterns - will we stay at home and order everything in - can we stop building highways and cars? Will being a Courier driver be the growth opportunity for future employment? I don't know and in a way, I'm almost afraid to know - things are bad enough now without doubling the army of the unemployed by making most conventional distribution systems such as stores and clerks obsolete. I'm still trying to figure out what went wrong in the industrial age.
