Can't Miss Misses

from the prediction-flops dept

An amusing list of “can’t miss” technology predictions from the past few years that proved to be total flops. It’s always nice to see someone who will admit that they were wrong. Too many people try to rewrite the past to make themselves look brilliant. A few things from the list: Pointcast, Microsoft Bob, IBM’s butterfly keyboard, and OS/2.
