There are things known and things unknown, in between there is the Internet.

May be I am an Internet fanatic, may be I just see reality as it is.
One thing is sure.
I couldn't live without my computer and most of all I couldn't live without my Internet connection.
It is a kind of electricity.
You do not realize how important it is unless you are without it.
Nothing works anymore.
They talk about globalization, but the real global reality in our life is the Internet.
With a click of the mouse you can be wherever around the world.
You can talk, look, communicate.

"After decades of continuous increases in productivity and worldwide expansion fueled by globalization, economic growth at the
beginning of the 21st Century has slowed down considerably. At the same time, innovation cycles are becoming shorter, while internationalization
is moving rapidly ahead. In this competitive environment, companies are
being forced to be even more flexible and spot new trends even faster than they have in the past.

Future increases in efficiency will mainly be in the communications sector.

One of the most urgent management tasks is to „shape” the future. Dependable forecasts are absolutely essential for businesses to succeed. Unfortunately, there is still no process to make accurate predictions about the future.
Nevertheless, the future can be shaped both today and tomorrow through preventive analysis and action."

Where should we look for "shaping the future" if not to the Internet?
