The Effect of New Technology on People in Physical Distribution

Abstract

The distribution of goods has a very long history. It is distribution that enabled man to specialise in different functions or activities and, indeed, provided the means for trade. Distribution has had its share of new technology. Indeed, distribution probably took the first major step forward with one of man's earliest and most important discoveries, namely the invention of the wheel. It is still being used.
