10 Tech Predictions Which Failed Miserably
#3 Remote or Online shopping will fail
In the early ‘60s, retail giant Sears launched its Christmas Wish Book Catalog, a book with over 600 images of products you could gift to friends and family. According to Times Magazine the very idea of online shopping will flop:“Because women like to get out of the house, like to handle merchandise, like to be able to change their minds.”As per the eMarketer, e-commerce sales topped $1 trillion for the first time in 2012, and Amazon alone raked in $15.7 billion in the second quarter of 2013.
#2 Spam will get vanished within 2 years
Microsoft founder Bill Gates in 2004 foretold that internet spam and associated problems will get resolved by 2006. It has been nearly a decade since he predicted the deterioration of spam; however, according to a Cornell University study at least 70 percent of incoming emails are spam even now.
#1 Windows will never go 32 bit
Bill Gates made another big blunder in 1983, when he said that Microsoft will never make 32-bit version of Windows operating system. But in contrary to what they said Microsoft is now making a 64-bit Windows OS.
