Yeah, I realized it suffers from (inverse) survivorship bias, only pointing out the ones that didn't survive.

Didn't one company claim something like "the internet is a fad" or "touchscreen phones are a fad" and went bankrupt/became irrelevant because they didn't adapt?

touchscreen phones are a fad

Blackberry? I was like 10 at the time so this is based off my memory of who had what phone but that seems like the right guess
