He posts a blog on the effects of the Internet and the new consumption model.
Let me see. One of the things we notice about the future of goods is that it follows the flow of information. Rail tracks and telegraph wires. International telegraph at our ports led to overhead electric power for street cars. Radio broadcasting recast the suburban neighborhood traffic flow, radio reach defined goods flow. In each case, the information technology moves the lightest weight good, information; and through that path the heavier goods follow by widening the route.
The Internet will behave the same. Goods will eventually flow with Internet assisted automation, goods will become packets and automation pushes commercial goods delivery right to the home. The empty strip malls become UPS and FedEx re-distribution stations, nodes on a factory floor of automated delivery. The chack out stand, the post office box become mobile; moving right to the edge of the home with Internet assisted automation.
