Internet Cafe – Is It the End of an Era for Medical Meetings?

October 22, 2011 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

internet cafeIs it the end of the internet cafe at medical meetings? Has the sponsored kiosk with ‘free access to the world wide web‘ run its course? I remember the day when there were lines at machines like this. We clamored to pick up our email. Now email and other inputs reach some 80% of doctors through their smartphones.

The sponsored cafe will soon be a relic of our past. A stepping stone to our digital presence.

Keep this picture. Your grandkids will get a kick out of it someday.
