Somebody has put up a bunch of those oh-so-inspirational quotes where business leaders said something really stupid. I’m not sure how these are supposed to inspire us, especially since almost all of them are urban legends. One of them I walk by every day says
“This ‘telephone’ has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication.”
— William Orton, president of Western Union, in 1876
I’m trying to figure out the clip art they used for a banner on the quote, because I really want to replace it with
“These digital cameras are a fad. People will always want the quality that they can only get with film”
— Any Kodak executive from 1975 to about 2005
