Attempting to count every incidence of rubbish he poo-poos:
1. telecommuting workers
2. interactive libraries and multimedia classrooms
3. electronic town meetings (Actually, not sure about this!)
4. virtual communities
5. online database [to] replace your daily newspaper
6. no CD-ROM can take the place of a competent teacher
7. no computer network will change the way government works
8. Your word gets out, leapfrogging editors and publishers (that was already happening...)
9. reading a book on disc
10. buy books and newspapers straight over the Intenet
11. "Too many connectios, try again later." (The predecessor to the fail whale? I kid.)
12. Internet addicts clamor for government reports
13. pushing computers into schools
14. instant catalog shopping—just point and click for great deals
15. order airline tickets
16. make restaurant reservations
17. negotiate sales contracts
18. trustworthy way to send money over the Internet
19. the network is missing a most essential ingredient of capitalism: salespeople
The only one he actually got right: "[the internet] lures us to surrender our time on earth".
