How wrong can they get ?

In 1901, Gottlieb Daimler, (Daimler Benz) said:
The world market for automobiles will not exceed one million. Simply because there will not be a sufficient number of chauffeurs.

and in 1876 in a memo to the board of directors, an official of Western Union Financial Services suggested that: 
"This invention has so many flaws that it cannot seriously be considered as a tool for communications."
He was talking about the Telephone.
