A Conversation with Chris MeyerPart II: Does the Internet Change Everything? Chris prognosticates about what will change as a result of the Internet. He defines the Internet, "as everything that is instantly addressable worldwide" and believes "we are on a path to changing everything." He describes changes in what people will invest in, how people work, and the structures in which we work. The nature of economic interaction has changed he argues. No longer can we only think about pure financial transactions, we now need to also look at "the information and emotional dimensions." When you replace the "invisible hand with the invisible handshake," he believes we will have organization forms that are "more like networks and less like firms."
