Lately I have been thinking how cool it would be if we could do all our offers electronically. Not only would this be convenient, it would also be a very “green”. Coming from a technical background, I personally would like to see this happen. I don’t see any reason why we couldn’t use tablet PC’s to do our offers. Since security and privacy are an issue, then we need to find a way to securely transmit the data. Secure webservers would be one way. Currently the following systems are all done electronically: land title, MLS, MPAC. If we can bank online then we can definitely do our offers online. Maybe Web 3.0 or 4.0 will include this feature. Come on techies get programming!

I see a future where I will go into somebody’s house with my 100GHZ supertablet PC. Internet is connected via a wireless Terabyte initernet connection that utilizes 2048,000,000 bit supercryptoamzinglythebestuncrackable encryption, dna identification challenge and repsonse verification. I am presenting the counter offer to my clients on their 2 bedroom space pod situated on planet Remaxia. The universe is experiencing incredible growth, the Canadian dollar is the offical universal currency, pigs can fly and RIM and Microsoft rule the world.

Maybe I am being a tiny bit silly here. All I am saying is that I hope we move to a model where we are doing offers on our computers and then processing them electronically instead of the current paper-based method we are currently using.

It will be really interesting to see what the next 5-10 years will do for our industry.

Anyways, thanks for reading!
