A movie executive in the 40s said that people would get tired of staring at a plywood box every night (television). People are generally pretty bad at seeing into the future. Those of us who can should use this to our advantage.

Fortunately for all of us here, we are on the right path already

The internet is not just entertainment for others. Because internetis designed to speed up things here in the world. Just like now, internet  a great help to us. It gives us a profit. Like bitcoin one of the proper use of internet.

Sure, people look down on bitcoin and or blockchain technology right now just like how they looked down on computers and the internet in the past. But that doesn't automatically mean that bitcoin or blockchain technology will be successful. I'm definitely bullish on blockchain, but I'm just being very realistic here. Time will tell.

It took me a while to realize that the post was made in 1995 when majority of the people didn't know what is computer, so it's unrealistic to expect that they will understnd what internet is. It looks valid for the time was posted but we all can see what internet did in our daily life. I personally can't think a day without internet now.

And yes, the OP statement is very valid. People who don't understand what blockchain is today, probably will have to use blockchain in every step in their life in 10 years from now or probably in lesser time.

However, a little change in situation needs to be factored in. When internet was making progress back in that time, governments wanted to adopt it but they faced a huge opposition from the trade and labour unions because they feared that internet will take away people's jobs. But today the situation is other way around. Where people wants to adopt it but governments are facing immense pressure from the Banking lobby because they think blockchain and virtual currency will take away their business. That is major roadblock we are facing currently but eventually we will be able to overcome it.

I think the internet is very helpful to someone in giving information around the world, because when I understand about the internet I can meet with friends who sdh 15 years did not meet, which I do not know contacts, I can meet again through the internet other than that the internet has also helped me a lot so i know all about bitcoin and join in the bitcoin forum which until now i really like bitcoin..

As people, its in our nature to doubt wverything that is set in front of us. The internet to ke is an exception because even if it is the same network we have been using for year now it is still different it is like a living organism constantly changing and feeding us with new things that we can be crazy about. It innovates and evolves and caters to the needs and wants of its consumers utilizing the data it gathers. Much to bitcoin where it is the by product of that era

The internet is just a fad! This is not true. Blockchain is also built on the foundation of the internet. Without it, blockchain does not exist.
