    The Internet - 1995

    Great Newsweek article from 1995.

    http://www.newsweek.com/id/106554

    Here are some of my favorite highlights:
    no online database will replace your daily newspaper
    Yet Nicholas Negroponte, director of the MIT Media Lab, predicts that we'll soon buy books and newspapers straight over the Intenet. Uh, sure.
    Then there's cyberbusiness. We're promised instant catalog shopping--just point and click for great deals. 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?
