Some of these tech prediction misses are kind of sad. Others a pure laugh riot.
Check em out:
Gosh, what do you guys think about Hiram Maxim’s prediction that the machine gun he designed would “make war impossible”?
Or the whole Y2K thing? Seriously, what a head-shaking crock that was!
Imagine being part of a generation that thought a rocket could never leave this planet.
Automobiles are a novelty. Hmmph, methinks there are more than a few oil billionaires and tax-happy governments that would disagree with that misnomer.
Why don’t we have flying cars yet?
And of course, Mr. Bill Gates and his prediction about 637kb max on computer memory. Can you imagine? I’ll bet many of you reading this never even used computers back in DOS times. Must be nice to be so filthy, stinking wrong (edit: rich) Bill!
What’s you’re favorite tech prediction faux-pas?
