Hi All
"I think there is a world market for maybe five computers". That was an IBM prediction in 1943 - which is today counted among the 10 worst predictions ever. Now IBM is at it again - predicting that is and I guess it has bettered its crystal ball since 1943 ...
CIO India reports some of the IBM predictions in its third annual Five by Five list. One of the predictions that got my attention was:
"You will talk to the Web . . . and the Web will talk back." Someday soon you will surf the Internet using just your voice, a development that will make the Web more widely accessible worldwide, particularly for those who cannot read or write.
Interesting not that IBM believes the Web will talk but that it also believes that five years from now, there will still be people - particularly in India - who will not be able to read or write.
Now, I wish this is one prediction we as Indians could prove wrong.
Best Regards
Gotya
