The WORST Prediction Ever Made #shorts

In 1943 the President of IMB made a terrible prediction about the future. In this short we examine that future prediction and just how hilariously wrong it is.

That's just like the guy that warned ppl about riding trains and said "humans would surely perish if they traveled over 30 mph" 🤣

To be fair that was back in the day when a single computer took up an entire huge room, so he was probably right, in terms of the market in 1943.

Computers? They're a fad. They'll go the way of Pet Rocks.

YouTube didn't even notify me you uploaded (even though I have notifications on). So I was happily surprised to see you in my shorts feed!

I think Jetpacks and Flying Cars was on of the worst predictions personally.
Humans can't be trusted with some things, i just see drunk flyers removing themselves and innocents they crash into but at 300mph+

In a way he wasn't wrong. If he was talking about gigantic computers like the 2.5 ton WITCH. Who wants that thing in their house?

[BigBadRedMantis]

Well that was short, sweet and informative! 👍

Right up there with the folks who thought video games were just a fad.

Another good one was a music producer not signing the Beatles saying they are just not good enough. Or something similar, and didn't sign them.

Watson didn't used his crystal ball to see the future

[MadMan]

I think you might be losing your touch, for a second I thought you were going to say he was eviscerated in his sleep the next day, and everyone dressed like pandas to his funeral in Belgium.

And those computers were owned by the 5 richest kings of Europe.

Easy for us to say...and he was right - why would anyone want a computer that takes up a whole room in their house? His failure of imagination was not seeing the computers development. 😐

Great video - all your videos are so much fun to watch! Why aren’t you on Patreon?

Mock him now, but after the final battle in the AI uprising war the victorious survivors will hail Thomas Watson as a prophet and a hero. Watson was a visionary who was simply trying to stop the coming apocalypse before it ever started. Oh, if humanity had only listened more closely . . .
