It is my contention that in the future there will be an artificially intelligent supercomputer running most large corporations, and they will use a business digital nervous system very similar to what Bill Gates described in his book "Business at the Speed of Thought." That is to say that the central computer will be hooked up in real-time to every cash register, every inventory computer, the company's accounting system, and it will know where its sales are coming from, the profit made in each area, as well as the losses.
