Eclectic Collection > A Thousand Bad Predictions is Worth a Picture

Since time immemorial, the "geniuses" of their age made predictions that passed without question... until a few years lapsed. Examples?

- “If anything remains more or less unchanged, it will be the role of women.” - David Riesman, conservative American social scientist, 1967
- “It will be gone by June.” - Variety, passing judgment on rock 'n roll in 1955
- “And for the tourist who really wants to get away from it all, safaris in Vietnam” - Newsweek, predicting popular holidays for the late 1960s
- “Four or five frigates will do the business without any military force.” - British prime minister Lord North, on dealing with the rebellious American colonies, 1774
- “Remote shopping, while entirely feasible, will flop - because women like to get out of the house, like to handle merchandise, like to be able to change their minds.” - TIME, 1966, in one sentence writing off e-commerce long before anyone had ever heard of it
- “Read my lips: NO NEW TAXES.” - George Bush, 1988
- “You will be home before the leaves have fallen from the trees.” - Kaiser Wilhelm, to the German troops, August 1914
