I remember the Internet back in 1994 at the computer lab in college. Maybe I just lacked vision, obviously, but I and many of my friends didn't think much about the internet revolutionizing the future.
First off, it was freaking slow back then, real slow. Who had time to sit there all day while something uploaded?
Secondly, websites like Yahoo! were free. I couldn't wrap my head around a company that just gives away it's services as being something that would last.
Interesting to look back on and see how wrong I was. Especially about not buying Amazon stock. Literally, was going to buy Amazon in my brokerage account but instead bought some other stock that turned out to go to penny stock status and no longer exists.
