As an ink-stained journalist, I doubt it ever will replace the printed page, but businesspeople of all types and home users will take to the World Wide Web in increasing numbers. The Internet will be as pervasive as the air we breathe … By year’s end, it will be a permanent fixture, and you will go through withdrawals if you are on the Net every day. Surfing will give way to serious Web diving.
Predictor: Demarzo, Robert C.

As an ink-stained journalist, I doubt it ever will replace the printed page, but businesspeople of all types and home users will take to the World Wide Web in increasing numbers. The Internet will be as pervasive as the air we breathe. It just does not have the trappings of a trend that will peter out next year. By year’s end, it will be a permanent fixture, and you will go through withdrawals if you are on the Net every day. Surfing will give way to serious Web diving.”
