Underestimating the World Wide Web's Impact

Underestimating the impact of the World Wide Web in 1993 led to a costly mistake for an early internet company. Despite pioneering email interaction between companies and consumers on existing platforms, the founder dismissed the World Wide Web as clunky, slow, and without a viable business model. This refusal to acknowledge the potential of the World Wide Web caused the company to fall behind for over a year, highlighting the significant consequences of underestimating technological advancements.
