My view on this is that the first internet wave came too early. In the late 90s, society was not ready for the changes the internet were bringing (disintermediation, killing of distribution channels, ...). The tech was oversold by eager business people to an audience that was not asking for it & oftentimes did not understand it. Now at least people 'get' the internet. Sometimes I feel we're only now fulfilling the promises we made ten years ago.
