The Future of Business Communication Includes Holographic Imagery - What to Do With It?

There is little doubt that the business world locally, nationally and globally (Globally) has been forever changed by the information age. Today, the world is closer together than ever before and an economic crisis in any one country has far-reaching effects elsewhere around the world. The future of communication will show us more of the same, just as "The Road Ahead" predicted over a decade ago.
But, what will these new technologies be that increase communication, speed of transmission and bandwidth be like? Well, there will be light-speed communication around the globe using satellites and what we might perceive as infinite bandwidth. No it will not be infinite by any means, but compared to what we have now it will be. Remember it was not long ago you were chugging along on your dial-up access on your 286 IBM Clone computer and you were quite amazed at its abilities when it first came out.
Soon, we will have super small devices that operate by voice and eventually by thought. The storage capacity will be better than the library of congress even for a device the size of a mini-cell phone. And you will have holographic projection technologies using spectral imagery. Just think what this will mean for your business endeavors. So, I guess the question you should be asking since all this is coming fast is; Have you considered how you will use this technology to do all you do better in your business?
Well, think about it for a second, you can collaborate on designs, prototypes using holographic imagery, you will be able to see a miniature of whoever you are talking too, watch the body language and get a much better feel for the conversation, this may increase the effective of cell phone type communication by a factor of three. But that's not all this technology will do and there will be entrepreneurs and innovators bringing you new applications for these new fantastic business communication tools, as fast as they can think them up. It's time to start planning ahead for your business communication future.
