Next in the tech history rabbit hole... CNet's "10 Technologies That Don't Stand a Chance," 10/16/97
1. push (2024 mobile is dying laughing)
2. ISDN
3. 56k modems (everyone will jump from 33 to cable)
4. phone calls over the internet
5. The Net PC (a cheap Microsoft/Intel computer with no floppy drive)
6. spam-blocking software 😂 (because "people don't dislike spam enough to really do anything about it")
7. PDAs, because they're just as dumb as digital watches (I might need oxygen over here)
And now I am sad to tell you that 8-10 didn't get saved by archive.org. But #8's hint is "couch computing."
