Abstract

Today, the technical environment for high-speed data interchange enables people around the world to interact with each other. They may attend virtual meetings without even having to leave their offices, being able to access information from their personal or corporate information systems. This might lessen the need for travelling and increase the value of real meetings, which will be reserved then to situations where it is vital to meet face-to-face.
