Business travel used to be one of the pricier perks of executives. Business class sections of the jetliner, car rentals, first class hotels etc. were the marks of success. Times have changed and businesses are seeking ways to get the same job done at less expense and risk to the environment. Clean technology has replaced the energy consuming travel and consumption of the recent past. Staff today can e-mail and use online seminar technology to meet with coworkers on other continents and even at the Space Station. Web cams have made face to face meetings with associates a reality even the most remote parts of the world.Additional information can be found at http://www.wired.com/thisdayintech/2011/07/0719twa-inflight-movies/. Cell phones and tablet computers can load a 1980′s roomful of technology into multiple applications that custom fit the customer. Less air travel means less fuel consumed. Fewer cars on the road means less pollution, until more hybrids and electrics are produced. The ability to communicate on the internet on a 24/ 7 basis means that more opportunities for economic growth are available and in more places. More people are now capable of being innovators, inventors and entrepreneurs due to the technology that lets them research, produce and market products. A cleaner environment is possible with high technology meetings
