Blaming it all on Amazon feels a bit quick. Silicon valley has grown insanely in economic strength and purchasing power; with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, drones, VR, 3D printing etc, plenty of folks in that area still like to toy around with new technology, hobbyist style, and now have no place to go satisfy their retail urge. I went to Fry's hoping to purchase hobbyist components which it turns out they didn't have; the level of knowledge from staff was dismal. I heard of someone who went to Fry's expecting to find a USB micro cable - and that relatively standard if aged connector cable wasn't in stock. There has to be a thought to the business's strategic management before declaring it by default as "killed by Amazon"
