Neither in 2002 nor in 2012 you could order groceries online where I live. Now it's available in multiple supermarkets and that's how I get my groceries.

Also Uber. I forgot about that. That wasn't around and would have been seen as strange. Now it's part of life in any city.

Webvan actually existed from the 90s-21 which delivered groceries but it went out of business.

The problem is that they had huge costs acquiring the vehicles and society wasn't ready for online shopping of groceries yet.

Today I buy all my groceries online. So they were right, just had the timing wrong.
