Sears and Roebuck did it first and possibly better with the technology of their day than Amazon is with the tech of theirs.

Amazon is what Sears could have been if any execs at Sears had had any vision.

Yes! Isn’t that amazing how they missed it. Seems like there should be a book in that. Maybe there is. I dunno.

What did Sears do? Just as the internet started to take off they discontinued their catalog. Near the top of my list of stupid corporate moves. They had all the fulfillment infrastructure in place. Digitize and put on the web, they would have been instant Amazon.

Local businesses had to meet "better or cheaper or more convenient than Sears" and could. It's impossible to meet that standard compared to Amazon - good - better shopping for consumers, but also not good.
