Newspaper: “You will never have Internet at home”

Here is an interesting mistake done in 1993 by the norwegian analysist and journalist Leif Oswold in the Norwegian daily “Dagens Næringsliv” - the largest financial newspaper. He argues why the Internet will be a failure because of “human nature” lack of ways to search information, and the fact that we will never see computers with Internet access in private homes.
The entire Internet hype, was in Leif Oswolds opinion started by the massmedia because they alone had access to it.

Internet is a flop

  1. “Ole-Morten Fadnes, notifies me that the article was not written by a journalist employed at the newspaper Dagens Næringsliv.”

    So they just printed the story without paying the writer? That doesn’t sound likely. Otherwise Fadnes is just describing a freelance writing gig.

    The newspaper are fully responsible since THEY PRINTED IT. Hopeless.
