 1. For the upcoming Yule season, there will be very little mention of
the e-word. Those who sacrificed their real careers for this pyramid
scheme will be seething in regret over the lost time they could have
spent engaging in a traditional pursuit.

So...people should pray for them?


 3. Corporate websites will begin to disappear (if they haven't
already).

they began to disappear the moment they stopped being interesting - for
most, that was the moment they were conceived.

 

6. The Internet will be regarded as a disappointment along with the
other overhyped technologies that were supposed to change the world:

for technogerbils forecasting what's coming next, what comes next is always
a disappointment.

 
7. Hey, the Dutch had the tulip thing. Which reminds me, now's our
chance to really sink the euro. We all keep this on the QT and set about
scamming Europe with the dotcom stuff. We destroyed the soviets with the
cold war spending spree, can ruin the rest of Asia and Europe just by
sending out trillions of AOL cds to them.

who, exactly, is "we" here?


 
9. Wireless Internet, hopeless.

The punditry is flagging...


 I HEREBY DECLARE that the Internet as a viable commercial venture is
over.

I hope you are right. Nothing more tedious than red-blooded capitalism
wanting to corner, rather than converse with, the market. The sooner the
fucking better.
