On-line purchases expected to increase by 20% in'06

We are in a new era.
Consumers are becoming more comfortable with making transactions on-line, this data has come from a recent survey done by the IDC.
I do believe that this time around, things are different,there is no mad rush, as in the earlier days that created the bubble, that had Uncle Alan wondering about irrational exuberance.

There seems to be some semblance of order, and initiatives appear to be better planned.
There are things being done, that was not possible five years ago.

A friend of mine emailed a document while travelling across the Atlantic. I made changes to the document and emailed back to him, while I travelled across the country.

The pace of tech innovations is sure to accelerate, as deployment of broadband is ramped-up
I may be exuberant, but about the prospects of the future.
Retailers are shifting focus to on-line, and some are only offering web-only deals.

Some deals are truly HOT

Grab your share of some sizzling hot deals! They won't last!

This is sure to create some sort of paradigm shift, as more things go-online.
I see a paradox between gaining productivity ,and losing some personal or social contact.
Remember Faith Popcorn when she cited that" cocooning " a new trend.
Another recent survey cites that the trend to download music and movies is expected to accelerate.

It seems almost inevitable, that very soon an internet connection will be as essential as food and shelter. The interconectivity can make the world a smaller and hopefully, a better place
Get in on the experience

We've only just begun- no B.S.

I read of two recent, seperately published works by an academic and another writer, on the suject of B.S.

I wonder how the subject of B.S. would be researched?

What is no B.S. is that on-line usage is still in the infant stages.
According to some recent statistics, the top 5 Global Internet Marketers now constitute almost $200 billion in market cap.




Some even more staggering figures is that broadband has only been adopted in 20-30 % of US households.
It boggles the mind to think of the traffic that would be generated if this was at a higher percentage.
Off-line advertising is on a steady decline as consumers become more comfortable and satisfied with the on-line experience
The driving forces may be the tools used to access info.



What I would hope to see as broadband assumes widespread deployment, is a convergence of all things electronic.
Retailers use on-line adverising to promote brand awareness of products or services, but wouldn't you love to download music or videoes from your cell even if you would have to pay a nominal fee.
I know the technology is available, but is difficult to use.
How about wirelessly downloading a movie with your cell to your Home Theatre system which includes the widescreen TV, while you work in a different location.

The internet is all about volume, imagine, related content being released to a billion consumers almost everywhere.

Access is made easier, by mobile phone,tv,pc,PDA or any electronic device
I know it's all possible, no B.S. and I cannot wait for some of the future.



For some of great deals on consumer electronics
