I work at home and on vacation seamlessly, which is marvelous, and also have made amazingly close friends across continents. I have no idea how I ever would have met those people if not for the internet, and I surely couldn't be spending hours a day on the phone with people in Russia and the UK with the old phone system! No doubt your example isn't isolated... this sort of global connection making seems to be becoming more common. I think it's going to be a really amazing force for cultural change in the next 20 years.
