My Dad actually worked briefly with a company that made this their game plane. They utterly failed to foresee the future, yet thought they were ahead of it. Their whole business model was based upon the idea that “Most businesses can’t afford to own a computer, therefore we shall provide computer services,” and there was no plan B in case computers became smaller and more affordable. That was never going to happen. Look at the size of them, they thought.
