That 1995 article saying the internet would never replace newspapers

I found a clipping from a 1995 newspaper where some tech writer claimed 'the internet is a fad that will never replace the daily paper.' Now I get all my news from a phone that fits in my pocket. How do we keep taking these confident predictions seriously?

What'd I miss while I was busy laughing at my own bad takes?

People keep saying those takes were actually funny though. Some of the jokes landed better than the serious points you were trying to make. Maybe lean into the comedy more next time instead of the hot takes.
