Curious question

[diafthora]

Seems more and more everything in life is connected to be used with technology and the internet - be it downloading ebooks, checking the news, connecting with friends, creating/designing something new, making a sales deal with someone across the world, or buying groceries

irreplaceable? good work ethics, ambition and a good attitude. some business models and ideas may not be original nowadays, but it takes someone with a drive to be successful to make it work :) at least that's what i live by. ^^

I referring to tangible services and/or products, etc. Not ethics, morals, or attitudes.

gas stations will never advertise online.

Maybe not directly advertising, but they will run online marketing campaigns to sway consumers. This can be either through corporate blogs or viral campaigns. An example of this is Chevron's Will You Join Us campaign. More info here: http://www.blog.thesietch.org/2009/03/02/chevron-will-you-join-us-dont-be-stupid/

I guess my point is that if you want to be successful in today's market, an online presence is pretty much a requirement. I was just trying to think if one can achieve success without the need of the internet.
