G+_Dave Scott Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Ah, futuristic dreams from the CEO of #Seagate in 1984. #technewsyesteryear "I don't see that they ever replace the 5.25" mini floppy because that the worlds program are written on mini floppys. And you'r never gonna be able to in your wildest imagination transcribe all those programs on to smaller discs. It just, it's not going to be done."

G+_William Deboer Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 thats funny. its amazing how these clips we find from the past make people seem so limited in thoughts of advancement in technology. Im sure in 30 years people will be finding videos of tech experts of today saying statements along the same lines too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Jeff Stevens Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Though interestingly, Shugart was not just the CEO, but the cofounder of Seagate, and shepherded them to the top of the mass storage business before resigning in 1998. So while he was certainly wrong there, he got a lot of things right afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
