This seems very hindsight driven to me. I didn&#x27;t realize how powerful the internet could be for news until Di died and I heard about it online something like a half hour before my parents confirmed it on TV. My mother didn&#x27;t trust the internet for film information until imdb had existed for many years, still relying on yearly Leonard Maltin books all the time.<p>Obviousness doesn&#x27;t tend to come until something compels it. But in the meantime, people who recognize it before others do are working to profit off that difference.
