> A number of physical retailers have already succumbed to online competition including Circuit City, Borders, CompUSA, Tower Records and Blockbuster
I was curious about the timeline of these closures so I opened all five businesses' Wikipedia pages to find out when each went out of business. (Tower Records - 2006, Circuit City - 2009, Borders - 2011)
It turns out CompUSA[1] and Blockbuster[2] are still operating retail stores! Both are now owned by other companies and CompUSA at least has a substantially reduced number of stores, but you can hardly say something "succumbed" when it still exists. This has me questioning whether I want to bother finishing the article.
