I agree with some of your points about business travel (earlier post) but not with your overall conclusion.
I'm a director and substantial shareholder of an international IT company which sells systems which, in theory, should make international travel redundant. Like most companies, we've reduced travel at the moment as part of cost-cutting but our key people still fly to the States about once a month. A few years ago it was more frequent and I've no doubt it will increase again when the economy improves.
In reality, business travel becoming a thing of the past is as likely as the paperless office which computers were meant to achieve. Nothing replaces direct personal contact - although that's not what we tell our customers in our sales pitch!
Just out of curiosity, can someone tell me what is the fastest time in which Concorde has crossed the Atlantic?
