There is no doubt that modern mass production techniques along with new technology have changed all of our lives and for some businesses life will never be the same, this new age has in my eyes has given the biggest changes to the electonics markets and the home electrical supplies companies, including white good, and the entertainment sector.
These new high tech, low maintenance machines have fallen right into the online and mass selling mediums that we have today, gone are the days of local retailers selling these products and then offering the local service network.
We are all to blame, we all choose to buy products at lower prices, but again, we all are the first to complain when something goes wrong and you need to make contact, but the best you can get is one big call center.
Will there ever be a return to local business, it would be nice, but somehow I doubt it, unless business again takes a huge u turn.
