Soon, the way people communicate and work together around the globe will change. No more we will be bounded by distance that separate us. Our "office" will become global. No more boundaries for getting effective and productive. Everything would be simply visual, communicative and interactive at the same time.
Video, sound and document will be integrated as one.
This is probably an illustration of how we will "look", "talk" and "interact" each other in the future:
- Linda in Japan.
- Jenny in the USA.
- Robert somewhere in the planet.
- All in "one" place!!!
The technology is soon will be fully ready for that. The people are increasingly ready for that. What is needed now is perhaps a continuous systematic effort to really make it happen.
We will see how soon it will become a true, daily, everyday reality.
Couldn't agree more. The word "overseas" will soon lose its meaning. There is no way that we can avoid nearness. With video conference, we're being enabled to see each other without having to take a closer step. No more border, no more boundary. Thanks to fast moving information.
Quoted from Ohmae: we're all now global citizen :)

Totally agree Virna. This is the era of "the death of distance", the time when "distance no longer relevant". We are now leaving in a "global village", becoming "global citizen", whereby people around the global can now connect, interact, and "know each other" very well -- across very vast distance. People interact each other across this vast distance as if it is just "nearby distance", and they "meet each other" everytime. The world "suddenly" become "one global place" with no geographic boundary in between, whereby information and interaction can flow fluidly without "limits". You're right, we're now all are increasingly becoming "global citizen". :-) Cheers, - arv

If "people" all speak, read, and understand each other, then this is really true. The fact is that not all of us speak the same language. The very basic boundary is still there for everyone to be able to do that.

Hmmmm, I think you're right Ken. I never thought about that before. Thanks for the great insight. You're indeed right. Cheers, :-)
