Just been searching for a meme and look what I found!
A quote from 1995 in Newsweek,
“Visionaries see a future of telecommuting workers, interactive libraries and multimedia classrooms. They speak of electronic town meetings and virtual communities. Commerce and business will shift from offices and malls to networks and modems. And the freedom of digital networks will make government more democratic. Baloney. Do our computer pundits lack all common sense? The truth is no online database will replace your daily newspaper, no CD-ROM can take the place of a competent teacher and no computer network will change the way government works.”
And the meme...
Most will say they are mostly correct in/about predictions but I believe people on average are wrong in predictions. Take for example Bitcoin these days, only (maybe) 4-5% can believe when someone predicts it'll replace fiat currencies! Instead they'll make epic predictions like Bitcoin is another tulip mania, will be dead once you wake up. I pity them.
But what about you? Did you ever make a very bold prediction that completely backfired?
