I was reading an email exchange from Atari employees in 1984. There was one comment.. computers are not useful for anything but playing games. It's all marketing fluff.
Here we are 40 years later communicating with computers. I wonder if in 40 years someone will read your comment and wonder how clueless some were in this era.
They laughed at Columbus and they were right!
Columbus said "I think the earth is like half the size everyone else says it is and I'm going to sail around it" and everyone with reputable mathematicians said "Nope"
If America didn't exist, and Columbus was relying on his plan, they all would have starved to death roughly where the East Coast is

Hindsight is 20/20, so of course someone will still make that mistake 40 years down the road. We can barely predict with any meaningful accuracy what will happen next year. The idea that we can predict 40 years out is the very height of hubris.
