A Few Predictions
1876 “This ‘telephone’ has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication” Western Union Memo “Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible” Lord Kelvin, President Royal Society “The wireless music box (radio) has no imaginable commercial value” David Sarnoffs Associates in response to his urgings for investments in the radio “I think there’s a world market for maybe five computers” Thomas Watson, Chairman IBM “Computer in the future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons” Popular Mechanics forecasting the relentless march of science
“There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home” Ken Olson, President, Chairman and Founder of Digital Equipment
“640K ought to be enough computer memory for anyone” Bill Gates

Predictions are simply extrapolations
of the past…
…innovation expands
the ‘art of the possible’
…today’s ‘unimaginable’ is
tomorrow’s ‘conventional wisdom.’
That’ll Never Work
