• The IT Explosion• I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.

Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, 1943. • This 'telephone' has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means

of communication. The device is inherently of no value to us. Western Union internal memo, 1876.

• 640K ought to be enough for anybody. Bill Gates, 1981

• have traveled 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. The editor in charge of business books for Prentice Hall, 1957.

• But what ... is it good for? Engineer at the Advanced Computing Systems Division of IBM, 1968, commenting on the microchip.

• There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home. Ken Olson, president, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Corp., 1977
