Top 10 Technology Predictions That Turned Out to be False

The titanic wouldn’t be a movie without the real life ship first

Can’t remember who it was but someone in Germany Austria or Switzerland said once that the internet will have no future xD

I worked for a division of Eastman Kodak in 2002 when a senior vice president came down from the granite tower in Rochester to speak at our quarterly associates meeting. The morning of the meeting, the Wall Street Journal published an article quoting a senior Kodak executive as saying that digital photography will have a 50% marketshare in 5 years. I asked the senior vp what Kodak was doing to meet the challenge of digital photography that they themselves predicted would eliminate 50% of their market. His answer floored me and everyone else in the room. He stated that people would always have a preference for 35 mm photographs because their image quality was much superior to a digital photograph. He said that digital cameras would always be an ancillary market because people had such a bias towards the image quality of a 35 mm print. Talk about having your head in the sand….it took less than 3 years from when the Kodak executive made his prediction to its fulfillment. Further, a standard 35 mm print has 13 million picture elements; dots that together form the image – akin to pixels. At the time of the statement, the standard consumer digital camera was 2 megapixels. Your cellphone has a higher image resolution today than a 35 mm print can produce, meaning the reason for the bias is gone. Kodak was so addicted to the profit margins for film and photo finishing that their upper management convinced themselves of the value of 35 mm film in a digital age and actively tried to convince the workforce at large of that same false narrative.

The other one is from ASAP Science. They claims that we may not have a vaccine in next october.
But in reality most of people in USA are vaccinated

Here’s a theory that will bite me in the ass
Physical media will die with movies and tv’s due to streaming
However they will never die with video games

Well, to this day I simply cannot explain why the iPhone has such a big market share, being one of the most expensive (or the most, depending on the time of year) whilst not being in the best phone at all (not even top 10) as the competence has phones that can cost half and do more.

The machine gun did make war impossible. It's why world war 1 was the way it was. We had to invent entirely new kinds of war to continue fighting each other.

The dude that said cars with just a novelty and a fad was a complete and absolute idiot and from this list I can clearly see he was far from being the only idiot climbing Wild predictions

Most underestimated technology

u missed a big one . one ceo of ibm famously told that there would a total of 5 computrs in the world
