Mike Carruthers:
Can you really make money selling stuff online? Maybe, the whole world of e-business keeps changing.

Scott Fox:
We saw with recent holiday sales for example, that the number one growth area for sales was actually apparel. If you think ten years ago everybody said, “You can’t buy apparel or shoes online because you have to try them on”. Well people seem to have gotten over that.

People don’t read email the same way they read a letter on a piece of paper. When you send someone an email…

Ron Cates:
They spend two to two and a half minutes and they scan it. They look at the upper left of the screen the most, that gets the most view "heat." Then they look at headlines and a couple of sentences below.

Mike Carruthers:
Technology has changed the way news and information is delivered. Which has made it tough on old news delivery systems like newspapers.

I think some of them will survive. The best ones will come to be seen as essential reading. But probably more than half of today's newspapers will disappear.

Mike Carruthers:
It's very common to go online to get health information from the Internet, particularly when you're sick because you want to know what's wrong with you before you go to the doctor. But that can cause a problem.

Lisa Gualtieri:
People are not talking with their doctors about what they find online and in some cases are actually using the information that they find to determine how current their physician's knowledge is.
