Executive Summary Insert - futuretech: from e-mail to v-mail

As technology enables workers to decentralize their work, "clocking in and out" may become a thing of the past. Workers may rarely be in the office and work hours may no longer be from 9-to-5 o’clock. Some futuretechproducts:

• v-mail—image and sound on a wireless computer screen accessible anywhere;
• v-phone—real time images along with audio;
• satellite conferencing—with participants from various locations worldwide;
• "drop in" offices for face-to-face meetings and chatter around the water cooler.
