@DHagar:

Absolutely, anything that has reflections for new econony becomes a valuble fact for the market. And that in turn should be helpful in addressing the realistics as you mentioned. Do you agree?

@elizabethv:

Thanks for sharing your experiences. It always helps to know and hear about other's experiences. I personally find useful facts often from those sharings.

I agree with you not all companies offer same even if same size or not. I personally think it all depends on the culture of the company to some extent and the rest is the midset of the manager or higher ups. I have also seen the cases where there is flexibility from higher managemnet but not from immediate reporting heads. It's just their mindset.

Re: A lot of "sunk costs" in older network tech...
Yes great points! And it would be a shame to see small businesses die. They make up such a big part of communities. As long as they bring something to the table that the internet doesn’t, they should still thrive.

@dir5288, that is the key in this new digital intelligence age - is finding the unique abilities that humans (and small business) can provide.  It takes thought, testing, and learning, but we will all gain if we do!

Yes! I think if they can come up with some kind of delivery service then they might be able to keep up with demand.

@dir5288, very true!  Small businesses are going to have to figure out a "sweet spot" where they can optimize their ability to customize and know the customers.  It will not be easy, but those that do can find their nitch.

Very true! I also know that the internet has been killing small businesses. Some times they just can’t keep up. Especially with it being so easy to buy exactly what you want with a few clicks.

@dir5288, and again, I believe that deadlines will become obsolete.  It will probably increasingly deliver customer-specific pricing and learn the psychographics of when it is most desirable for us to buy?

Re: A lot of "sunk costs" in older network tech...
I definitely agree! I know, at least for me, I’d rather wait for Cyber a Monday for the same deals than have to go out on Black Friday with all the madness..
