Daily Mail: "The Internet may be only a passing fad" (2000)

The Internet may be only a passing fad for many users, according to a report. 

Researchers found that millions were turning their back on the world wide web, frustrated by its limitations and unwilling to pay high access charges.

They say that e-mail, far from replacing other forms of communication, is adding to an overload of information.

Experts from the Virtual Society project, which published the report, say predictions that the Internet would revolutionize the way society works have proved wildly inaccurate.
