    It can be said and it happening actually , what i notice now business has no courtry restriction also and there is no bindings also for business . I meant you need to search a local expert with high cost , there are many international worker available with minimum cost. So business are now being global.

    This has been going on for quite a while now, in the sense that online sales are increasing while in-store sales are falling. However, that said, offline business will never end. Nothing replaces the experience of going into a store, getting help choosing what you need, buying it, and paying in cash.
    I think online sales are an addition to business, not a replacement.

    If you can create a great offline experience, you will be more successful offline than online. A good sit down restaurant or cafe will be more successful in its physical location. Papa John's, on the other hand, is getting most of its profits from online orders. Retail IS migrating to become a full-time online thing. But... If you are a local shoe store, you will still be more successful in your own location than anywhere else. There's only one Zappos. No need for another one. I guess what I am trying to say is: It all depends...

    (off topic) Where I'm presently abiding the expression commonly used is "sober as a judge". But your expression well...frankly, there is no logic to it as a douchebag is an inanimate object.;)

    You need to relax a bit. It's not all black and white, you know. Have you ever watched the Simpson or Family Guy? That humor is universal. A douchebag is someone who is obnoxious (usually a guy). So, when I said "I am sober as a douchebag", I wanted to say that I was really irritable, BECAUSE I had no wine in me.

    Off topic. Why do the French women love blue cheese? That stuff smells like dirty, stinky socks??

    Certainly online commerce is affecting off-line business, but there will be no replacement. Off-line has inherent advantages that the Internet simply cannot reproduce.

    I agree with the people that say online businesses with few exceptions are not a replacement for traditional ones. It enhances most physical companies and provides extra support for people who's primary interactions may be online but still can reach people within their local circles.

    Majority of the businesses operate both online and offline. Online functionality of all businesses are growing.
    But it will never transform them into 100% pure online businesses.

    Offline is probably easier but requires a lot off capital and overhead

    I agree.

    You can get best cooked meal but still service, "human brain", it of paramount importance. (I used restaurant but it's all the same)
    The way you are greeted, looked, maybe touched, everything. We are still blown away by 5 sense shopping experience.

    I believe that offline business can't be replaced by online ones. But one thing that is happening is advancement in the businesses using online resources. Specifically talking about India the replacement is still too far as there is lot to be done in online fields. Rather than using word replacement I would use amelioration.

    Nope. Online business compliments offline business.
