Don't believe the "gloom and doom" experts who want to tell us about the future. Here are three examples of bad predictions:

"A Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor is a strategic impossibility."
George Fielding Eliot, 1938
"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."
Darryl F. Zanuck, head of 20th Century Fox, 1946
"Landing and moving around on the moon offers so many serious problems for human beings that it may take science another two hundred years to lick them."
Science Digest, August 1948
