Default-piece-image-0 The world changes at such a rapid clip, sometimes it's hard to put your finger on what exactly it is we're doing right now.  Michael Malone has taken that one step further in his new book "The Future Arrived Yesterday".  Michael will tell us about the virtualization of the workplace and what corporations may look like in the future. 

And as the workplace goes more virtual, our shopping habits have followed.  But this may not be the future of retail.  We'll speak with Larry Weeks and Daniel Aizenman from the design firm Commarts join us to explain the future of retail and what will become of your neighborhood mall.
