[1995] Newsweek declared the Internet won't last
This article was passed on from a friend. It's from 1995 but it's funny to look at it 15 years later and laugh. Some highlights:
Nicholas Negroponte, director of the MIT Media Lab, predicts that we’ll soon buy books and newspapers straight over the Intenet. Uh, sure.
Even if there were a trustworthy way to send money over the Internet–which there isn’t–the network is missing a most essential ingredient of capitalism: salespeople.

Way to FAIL Newsweek.
