How to go down in history
“Radio has no future.”
Lord Kelvin, Victorian physicist – 1897
“I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.”
Chairman of IBM, Thomas J. Watson – 1943
“I’m a guy who doesn’t see anything good having come from the Internet. Period.”
Sony Pictures CEO, Michael Lynton – 2009
I think we can forgive Lord Kelvin and IBM for not seeing the future coming. But someone should tell Sony: that Internet thing? It’s kind-of happened.
