FutureConsumer.Com: The Webolution of Shopping to 2010
by Frank Feather

Toronto: Warwick Publishing, 2000

By 2010, the Internet will gobble up 31% of consumer spending, leaving most brick-and-mortar retailers in rubble.

The head-spinning Internet Revolution, or "Webolution" as renowned futurist Frank Feather calls it, will reverse virtually everything the Industrial Revolution put into place, returning the workplace, the learning space and the marketplace to the home.

In the resulting globalized, high-speed society, we will talk to our appliances and automobiles -- and they'll talk back. We'll carry the Internet with us wherever we go. Families will incorporate. Paper money will become a thing of the past.

These are just a few of the changes resulting from the Webolution. It will rock our world, utterly transforming life and commerce. And its rewards will accrue fastest to those who embrace it first. FutureConsumer.com provides you with invaluable knowledge that will put you and your business ahead of the competition, such as:

  • the one Web strategy that every organization absolutely must pursue
  • why some Web sites succeed and why others fail
  • solid forecasts of online retail sales to 2010 -- six years further out than any published elsewhere -- in 12 product categories
  • what will be the top 50 retail Web sites in 2010
  • astute analyses of trends in work, business, family life, and society

This amazing glimpse into the near future will set your business on the fast track to success in the Webified world.

Frank Feather is a global business futurist and author who, in 1979, coined the now well-known phrase "Thinking Globally, Acting Locally." Formerly a strategic planning executive with three of the world's largest banks, he has forecast the future with uncanny accuracy since 1981. In demand on the lecture circuit, he has advised an A-Z of global companies in all industries. Even the big consulting firms frequently pick his brain.
