losing communications?


I can see how all of this could be a very good and convenient thing. How doing things electronically could save time and human energy. But, just to think about it - what if communications were lost? Even for an hour? How much money would be lost just because they could not take a phone call, or send an e-mail. Should a business really rely solely on electronic communication to get its work done? My dad works for GE, and everyday he conferences with people from Florida, India, Japan. What would happen if their communications were lost? Its just a “what if.”
