In the last 15 years, technology has changed the way all companies conduct business. Gone are the days of doing business by letter, telex, and fax. Today, forms of communication such as email, text messages, and the Internet that allow more rapid exchanges are the irreplaceable tools of commerce. The Internet in particular has changed the way business is done in America. It permits instant access to an unlimited supply of information, and it allows companies to connect with their clients instantaneously and more efficiently. It is safe to say that Internet access is now essential in order for most companies to stay competitive. To answer the question "what is your company's website address?" with "we don't have one" is becoming, if it has not already become, a commercial kiss of death.
