These days you could have a video conference with clients in Tokyo, Sydney and New York and you can all discuss and edit digital documents or blueprints in real time, all of which is done without leaving the office.
Compare that to 40 years ago with a CEO having a similar meeting to discuss a business operating in London, Manchester and Glasgow for example. I don't think it was 10 times easier 40 years ago just because you're all in the same country.
