In case you’re looking for a little inspiration, or maybe a "just do it" moment, maybe you should read through this list of lousy predictions.

Here are a few…

• “I have traveled the length and breadth of this country and
  talked with the best people, and I can assure you that data processing
  is a fad that won’t last out the year.”

The editor in charge of business books for Prentice Hall, 1957

• “There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.”

Ken Olson, president, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Corp., 1977

• “This ‘telephone’ has too many shortcomings to be seriously
  considered as a means of communication. The device is inherently of no
  value to us.”

Western Union internal memo, 1876.

• “Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible.”

Lord Kelvin, president, Royal Society, 1895.

Alright, now it’s time for you to do something that’s never been done. Something someone said was impossible. Go ahead, BMA believes in you.
