The older parts of my town have metal rings set into the curbs for tying up horses, because they were sure those new-fangled cars were just a fad. (Mind you, most of these neighborhoods were being built around the time the Ford Motor Company started up.)
I remember playing around with a hyperlinks demo on a Mac and thinking it was dumb and would never be useful for anything. About a year later the World Wide Web exploded.
If it’s any consolation, I don’t think there’s a single significant thing in history that someone hasn’t wrongly identified as a passing fad
I see people now saying AI is a fad lol, people really do think they were born at the end of history.
