This could quite possibly be the best article I've ever read, ever. In 1995, this guy from Newsweek told us all that the internet would fail.

Newsweek in 1995: Why the Internet will Fail.


Quotes include:

Nicholas Negroponte, director of the MIT Media Lab, predicts that we’ll soon buy books and newspapers straight over the Intenet. Uh, sure.

Who needs teachers when you’ve got computer-aided education? Bah. These expensive toys are difficult to use in classrooms and require extensive teacher training.

We’ll order airline tickets over the network, make restaurant reservations and negotiate sales contracts. Stores will become obselete. So how come my local mall does more business in an afternoon than the entire Internet handles in a month?

The truth in no online database will replace your daily newspaper, no CD-ROM can take the place of a competent teacher and no computer network will change the way government works.

etc. etc. etc. I'll let you read it for yourselves though!
