Disintermediation

From Google's dictionary response:

1. reduction in the use of intermediaries between producers and consumers, for example by investing directly in the securities market rather than through a bank.
2. 
   
3. Companies like Travelocity, Priceline, and other travel agencies are just one example of this disintermediation. We as a people are moving further and further away from needing the "middle-man" which in my opinion is one of the best things that could happen for consumers. While we miss out on interacting with a real human being we can leisurely use services for a much cheaper cost. If you take Moore's law into account this is only going to become easier for other services so I only see this growing in the future.
