Don't let your failures, your mistakes and the things you get wrong dictate your future. Here are a few quotes I found in my archives about computers - enjoy!
1943 "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers." Thomas Watson (1874-1956), Chairman of IBM.
1949 "Computers in the future will weigh no more than 1.5 tons." From an article in Popular Mechanics forecasting the advance of science.
1957 "I have travelled 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." From the editor in charge of business books at Prentice Hall.
1968 "But what is it good for?" From an engineer at the Advanced Computing Systems Division of IBM, commenting on the micro-chip.
1977 "There is no reason why anyone would want to have a computer in their home." This gem came from Ken Olson (1926-2011), President, Chairman and Founder of Digital Equipment Corporation.
