And My Prediction Is?

Take those predictions, forecasts, and prognostications with so many grains of salt. ?They have a notorious track record for being completely wrong, even when made by the leading experts in their fields. In preparing for my autumn lecture series, I came across these following nuggets and thought I?d share them with you ? There are some real howlers:

1876 ?This 'telephone' has too many shortcomings to
be seriously considered as a means of communication.?
-- Western Union internal memo.

1895? ?Heavier than air flying machines are impossible.?
-- Lord Kelvin, president of the Royal Society.

1927 "Who the hell wants to hear actors talk?"
-- H.M. Warner, founder of Warner Brothers.

1943 ?I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.?
-- Thomas Watson, Chairman of IBM.

1962 ?We don't like their sound, and guitar music
is on the way out.?
-- Decca Recording Co. rejecting the Beatles, 1962.

1981 ?640 kilobytes of memory ought to be enough for anybody.?
-- Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft.
