To a very large extent - compared to business 50 years ago - technology HAS eliminated much business travel. Seen Mad Men? We do so much more today with expedited shipping, email, the enhanced mobile platform, and tons of bandwidth.

However meeting face-to-face... to negotiate, close a deal, interview a key hire, or deliver bad news, etc. ... will never go away.

Saabira - My father-in-law is 80+ years of age and he took up using email and the web 10 years ago. Sorry but the generational factor doesn't hold up.

The fact this question comes up in an online venue skews the debate. If this were the 19th hole at a Country Club, would be discussing the relevance of the fact Obama isn't a golfer?

I believe there are more central concerns than the personal use of technology in forming an opinion of the candidates.

We have seen the amazing organizational capabilities of the Obama campaign, of which technology is but one element.
