    It was already clearly not a passing fad by December 2000

      The Daily Mail is a worthless rag that spits whatever rubbish it needs to get old people to read it and feel smug.

      Old boomers who “don’t understand these useless computers” will have been thrilled to read that the kids these days are wasting their lives using the “into the net” and that they were right to dismiss this rubbish and go back to getting their information from good old reliable TV

      Now of course that media has shifted to wanting them to consume their webpages, they are not told that the internet is a terrible place and so their opinion on it has changed

        Were they the ones who started breaking into people’s voicemail to get unreleased information for their tabloid?

          That was the news of the world and the sun. The daily mail supported the Nazis in the 30’s.

      Seriously. This headline is basically year 2000 click bait title because Dec. 2000 was still in the height of the dot com bubble(In the US at least, idk how things were across the pond at the time)
