Hmm, maybe you need to watch http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1251757/
Btw @Being.smart seems you are pretty obsessed over eCommerce, will it survive or even if there is a bubble etc. If you look at developed countries, ecommerce giants like Amazon did not actually cause B&M to completely go out of business? Amazon even being a behemoth has yet to make a profit in ecommerce but has to reinvent itself in different sectors too. Instead you look up sales for Fashion brands like H&M, Zara etc, they do better sales in-stores than online. Who is the largest retailer in the world? Its certainly not Amazon, its Walmart with its B&M chain.

No they won't be spared either, but it's going to be slow.
Virtual consultations are available in many medical specialities but they aren't reliable at the moment. It requires a generational change in mindset for this.
But In spite of that changes in mindset, the people with skills will not be affected much. Businesses with skilled professional recruitment and service providers won't be affected much.
Advocates, Military, Researchers, Sports and performing arts professionals won't be affected easily either.
So also, those businesses where buyers have to furnish a valid document to purchase the goods would not be affected easily.
Prescription only drugs
Alcohol for age proof etc.
Not necessarily. I am currently working on technology which will ensure that user is authenticated when making such purchases like of give finger print which is attached with your public profile like facebook page during alcohol purchase which can verify you age, and even determine if you are allowed to consume alcohol etc. (just an example, i work on the platform which can be used to make this and much more).
Doctors are also part of eCom now with Ola kind of apps which can deliver them to you on beck and call. Guess same can be made for lawyers and barbers. (a lawyer and a dcotor may not be business but a hospital or law firm is).
