The IT Explosion
•
I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.
Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, 1943.
This 'telephone' has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means
of communication. The device is inherently of no value to us.
Western Union internal memo, 1876.
640K ought to be enough for anybody.
Bill Gates, 1981
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.
The editor in charge of business books for Prentice Hall, 1957.
But what ... is it good for?
Engineer at the Advanced Computing Systems Division of IBM, 1968, commenting
on the microchip.
There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.
Ken Olson, president, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Corp., 1977
