For every e-commerce stumble, there have been times when promised advances in technology haven't been there to provide a needed soft landing.
- This 2000 article sees E-Commerce as a growing trend which may “become more of an economic force” in the future if technology will allow. The author mentions the current difficulties such as slow computer downloads and security issues as examples of things which keep E-Commerce from taking off.
As we head into 2001, several year 2000 issues remain unresolved. Most of all, e-commerce companies will continue to be watched for signs of real progress toward profits. At this point, no one expects the dot-coms that can't make it into the black to provide us with anything but memories.
However, it's also quite possible that e-commerce will further entrench itself into the social fabric and become even more of an economic force.
For that to happen, though, e-commerce is going to require help from the world of technology -- help that has been slow in coming so far.
Who Needs Wires? In other words, e-commerce has made its own missteps. But for every stumble, there have been times when promised advances in technology simply haven't been there to provide a much-needed soft landing.
Where is wireless? It seems as if the entire year went by with a wireless use explosion said to be just around the corner. But the same technical drawbacks -- the tiny screens on cell phones, the turtle speed downloads, the security issues -- are still going to be in play in 2001.
- Technology has come far in the years since 2000, therefore catering to the growth of E- Commerce. This momentum is certainly something to keep an eye on as our team explores 2008 and makes predictions for the future.
