A couple of well-worn predictions:
“Radio has no future.” Lord Kelvin, President of the Royal Society, 1897
“I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.” Thomas Watson, Chairman, IBM, 1949
And for our times:
“Blogging in an ephemeral fad. Destined to burn itself out in a year or two.” Hiawatha Bray, business journalist circa 2002
He is now a blogger, says Jon Beattie, blogging from/about Future of Online Advertising Conference (FOOA) in New York City.
