The current web provides a two dimensional user experience. A user has to interact with 2 dimensional objects in a browser. This experience is so much frustrating that some users are turning back to old way of doing business - go offline and call the live person.
A study by Forrester Research just found that for online travel web site users.

Where is the intuitive web?
