13.《必然》The inevitable

If these two examples aren't impressive enough for you, let's talk about the Internet. In 1994, shortly after the Internet had entered its application phase, Time magazine, the number one magazine in the US, asserted that the Internet would never be mainstream. The Times argued that the Internet was not designed for business and that it would be difficult to accept new users. Then, a year later, in 1995, Newsweek, the second largest magazine in the US, published an article that was even more direct in its scepticism of the Internet. The title of the article was straightforward: "The Internet? Yuck!" The article said that the online shopping and online communities envisioned by the Internet were simply something that defied common sense and that it was a fantasy that was completely unrealistic. Take a look at the attitude of two of the biggest magazines in the US.

如果这两个例子你觉得还不够深刻，还差点意思的话，那我们在说说互联网。在互联网刚刚进入应用阶段不久的1994年，美国的第一大杂志《时代周刊》就断言说，互联网永远不都不可能成为主流。《时代周刊》认为互联网并非为商业设计，并且很难接受新的用户。紧接着，翻过年去，1995年，美国第二大杂志《新闻周刊》又刊登了一篇文章，对互联网的怀疑态度更加的直接。文章标题直接就是“互联网？呸！”文章中说互联网所畅想的在线购物和网络社区根本就是违反常识的事情，这完全就是不切实际的幻想。你看看哈，这是美国最大的两家杂志媒体的态度。
