That doesn't preclude something like a dot-com crash. It also doesn't mean everything in the current hype cycle will come true either. Plenty of people still shop at physical stores, read printed materials, and actually don't like being stuck at home if they can help it.

Similarly, majority of people still don't 3D-print stuff they can get cheaply at Walmart or from Amazon. Or use VR/AR as their primary form of interaction.

I too would use "plenty" rather than look at the horribly depressing stats.

Basically, 80% of sales are still brick-and-mortar. That doesn't seem very depressing?


What are the horribly depressing stats that show otherwise? Maybe it's different where you live.
