Projected Spending on the Internet will exceed one trillion
dollars per year.
In Spite of the Dot.Com Crash of 2000, Internet spending
will only continue to rise as the cost efficiency of the Net allows
businesses to become more profitable. The growth may take several
years, and act more like a train than a rocket, but the Internet engine
will pull more and more weight as the years go by.
Just as Microsoft and Apple once represented the future of technology,
now Internet Commerce represents the wave of the future.
The Revolution that is taking place in the economy is as great
a change as the Industrial Revolution was in the 1800's. Why? Because
Information and Communication Technologies are becoming the major
profit centers of commerce, while heavy industry is declining in relative
importance.
