About this Quote

This quote by Robert Metcalfe is a referral to the prediction he made in 1995 that the internet would catastrophically break down in 1996. Metcalfe was a computer system scientist and entrepreneur that is attributed with designing the Ethernet, a networking system that enabled computer systems to communicate with each various other. His prediction was based upon the suggestion that the web was growing also promptly and that it would eventually become too large and also facility for its very own good. The good news is, his prediction did not become a reality and the web has actually continued to expand and also progress for many years. Metcalfe's prediction works as a pointer of the value of mindful preparation and foresight when it involves the development of new innovations.
