section of The Kansas City Star, Jan 17, 1995: "Computers
in the future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons." --
Popular Mechanics, forecasting the relentless march of
science, 1949. "I
think there is a world market for maybe five
computers." -- Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, 1943. "I
have traveled the length and breadth of this country and
talked with the best people, and I can assure you that
data processing is a fad that won't last out the
year." "But
what ... is it good for?" "There
is no reason anyone would want a computer in their
home." - Ken Olson, president, chairman and founder
of Digital Equipment Corp., 1977.
