I came across this Newsweek article written in 1995 about why the internet is going to fail. Bashing the prediction that books and newspapers will be sold online, this author didn't believe the "clunky computer could replace the friendly pages of a book." I can understand WHY he thought so:
Hindsight 20/20, he was wrong (we all slip up occasionally). But his predictions are interesting. He was right about one thing: "the internet is one big ocean of unedited data"..."Lacking editors, reviewers or critics, the internet has become a wasteland of unfiltered data." ANYONE can publish something...there are some really crazy people out there too *cough *cough
Check out the article...Don't worry, you don't need to go buy Newsweek - you can read it on your computer now (how times have changed): Why the Internet will Fail
