>Buying things on the internet, for instance. This was laughed at for quite a while, while a few people and companies were committed to the idea that it was the future. Pretty much every developer (and reader) I know jumped on the OG amazon to buy books. All through the late '90s I (and pretty much everyone I knew) would buy books that were not immediately available in bookstores (remember those?) or libraries on the internet. Never mind that it sometimes took over a week for your books to be delivered, the point was that we could get something we wanted. I have played around with a VR headset, and been part of demos that have fallen flat, because there really is nothing that we want in that experience. This is not to say that it won't be successfull. Advertising and hard sells can be very effective after all.
