He was wrong about a lot of the specific business applications, mainly because the problems he cited were all things that could be (and were) engineered around once there was enough profit to be made. He was right about most of the social/utopian applications; educational software, government websites, and social networks are all useful tools and have been more financially successful than he predicted, but they have never revolutionized education or government, nor given us something better than face-to-face contact, as we were promised.
