A Quote from the Close Minded

The wireless music box has no imaginable commercial value. Who would pay for a message sent to nobody in particular?

-- David Sarnoff's associates in response to his urging for investment in radio, 1920s

If they thought that about the radio, then I wonder what they would have thought about television and the Internet. These people seem to have been very close minded, but the radio was unlike anything else in it's time. I bet David was saying, "I told you so!" just a few years later.
