To be fair, it can't have been long before that memo that he wrote The Road Ahead, which infamously made very little mention of the internet at its first release, necessitating a whole bunch of additions for subsequent printings. I don't find it as amazingly visionary as all that - for example, he barely mentions the importance of search which his company would later end up sinking huge amounts of money into.

To be fair, he mentioned 7 critical steps. Search engines are No. 5.

Huh, my PDF viewer seems to be failing to display a couple of pages towards the end. That's annoying.
