Introduction

It is of course very difficult to predict a technology that will have an Impact on the way we do things giving how fast the technology moves.
Who would've predicted in 1997 that a search engine company would rule the Web tech world in 2007? Probably not many people, given that Google wasn't formed until September 1998. It's possible that the dominant web technology of 2017 doesn't even exist yet, or is a twinkle in a UCSI Uni student's eye (or maybe a Shanghai Uni student).

The world is flat and moving fast

According to Rebecca Jacoby, CIO, Cisco TelePresence allows us to build relationships globally, which accelerates productivity through innovation and a broader access to talent. This creates a competitive advantage that is even more enduring than the dramatic reduction in travel cost.

Therefore to excel in today’s fast-paced, global business environment, you must continuously innovate and transform your business model—and you need a plan to respond rapidly to unexpected situations that affect business continuity. Relationships and effective communications are critical to success, determining how competitive and responsive you can be, how quickly you can make decisions, and how fast you can get to market. They can even play a role in your level of environmental responsibility.

Telepresence a technology by Cisco which allows a person to feel as if they were present, to give the appearance that they were present, or to have an effect, at a location other than their true location. This is already been in place in a big organization but it has not been used by many and maybe in the near future it will be a common technology in our environment.
