I don't find pointing out the obvious "amazing". Anyone who looked at a CRT in 1995 knew they didn't want to read a book on it.

The deepest insights are often obvious in hindsight.

Yeah but what I'm saying having used the web in 1995 is that his insights were obvious then too.

[Peaker]

It isn't enough that they are obvious when they are pointed out explicitly.

If they were obvious, you'd find other articles/authors explaining the same issues?

I'm not going to go look it up for you, but there were plenty of skeptics in the mid 90s of eBooks, online banking, and the accuracy of search engine results. In fact it was probably the prevailing opinion of established business interests, hence why the web took much of the old guard by surprise. I'm not sure what you're arguing? Do you think the majority were visionary?
