So is history indeed about to repeat itself? Those who think not point out that the tech landscape has changed dramatically since the late 1990s. Back then few people were plugged into the internet; today there are 2 billion netizens, many of them in huge new wired markets such as China. A dozen years ago ultra-fast broadband connections were rare; today they are ubiquitous. And last time many start-ups (remember Webvan and Pets.com) had massive ambitions but puny revenues; today web stars such as Groupon, which offers its users online coupons, and Zynga, a social-gaming company, have phenomenal sales and already make respectable profits.
respectable profits
“If much of the Freudian view of the human animal
present and past appears to be fairly commonplace today, that is so because for
a century much of the respectable world has made its progress toward him,” Dr.
Gay wrote in the book’s preface.
“如果對現在和過去之人類動物的弗洛伊德式觀點，今天看來大部分是相當平常的，乃是因為近百年來，這一重要的世界有許多的進展都是趨向弗洛伊德的，” 蓋伊博士在書中的序言寫道。.
