Some great quotes

Saturday, June 21st, 2008 | Quotes, Rants | No Comments

I’ve stumbled on a page with some really “great” quotes from different experts who thought they could predict the future. Here are a couple of gems

  • The Internet will catastrophically collapse in 1996. - Robert Metcalfe, internet inventor
  • Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible. - Lord Kelvin
  • All the waste in a year from a nuclear power plant can be stored under a desk. - Ronald Reagan, 1980

The truth is that no one can predict the future and I think it shows not only stupidity but arrogance and bravado when someone tries to do so. The smartest person in the room is the one who’s able to admit that he/she has no fuckin’ idea.
