No-one thought the internet was a failed technology in 2006. It was a vital tool by then. Handheld computers were an expanding market, dominated by Blackberry.

EVs were an immature technology but hybrids like the Prius were selling.

- inigyou 8mo agoThis YouTube link proves that YouTube is a failure?
- senko 8mo agoHave you seen the video?
- graemep 8mo agoNo, never seen it. Why would I? There is a huge difference between claiming that there is an investment bubble in an industry and some companies are overvalued and that the technology is a failure. Someone might well think that Tesla is very overvalued, but that EVs are successful. If someone thinks there is a house price bubble that does not mean that they think houses are a failed technology.
