Beroemde quotes van mensen die door de geschiedenis hun ongelijk bewezen gekregen hebben:

Darryl F. Zanuck, baas van 20th Century-Fox in 1946:

Television won’t be able to hold on to any market it captures after the first six months. People will soon get tired of staring at a plywood box every night.

Het Engelse “The Quarterly Review” in maart 1925:

What can be more palpably absurd than the prospect held out of locomotives travelling twice as fast as stagecoaches?

Het Amerikaanse tijdschrift “Popular Mechanics” in 1949:

Computers in the future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons.

Meer van dat bij Null Hypothesis.
