Most of the time, you know more than others about your area of expertise.

“If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses” — Henry Ford

I have had this quote in my head all day today.

    Love it. Very true of disruptive innovations. Sometimes listening to your customer does you a disservice when it comes to revolutionary inventions. I think there’s a quote floating around about Alexander Graham Bell’s invention of the telephone as well.

    Something along the lines of (no pun intended) “why would you ever want to send voice down a copper cable?”

    Interesting…I am sure I work for a software company that is making faster horses!
