The famous example of how short sighted we can be is the famous set of
quotes:

"Nobody will ever need more than 640k RAM!" -- Bill Gates, 1981
"Windows 95 needs at least 8 MB RAM." -- Bill Gates, 1996
"Nobody will ever need Windows 95." -- logical conclusion

"You ain't goin' nowhere, son -- you ought to go back to drivin' a
truck" Jim Denny, Sept. 25, 1954 as he fired Elvis Presley after one
performance at the Grand Ole Opry.
