A Passing Fad
It’s amazing how much of what we use on an everyday basis now was once thought to be a passing fad that wouldn’t last. In this article published by Daily Mail in the year 2000, the author wrote about how the internet wouldn’t make it past a few years. To be fair, the access charges were pretty high back then but that’s all the writer got right.
The internet really did revolutionize the way society and the world works. It boosted the economy and so many companies still depend on it to function properly. The irony of this situation is that if anything, newspapers are on their way to becoming obsolete pretty soon.
