Today, these items are used by humans all over the world on a daily basis. However, it wasn’t always this way. Believe it or not, every product listed above was once ridiculed and thought to be a failure among the masses. Each of these items was not an overnight success with universal adoption. It took many years for these products to be seen as successes with massive global use.

To understand how new technologies are not automatically embraced, we asked everyone’s newfound best friend, ChatGPT, to explain technologies that people said would fail, but we now use every day. ChatGPT gave us the following response: 

The Internet: In the early days of the Internet, many experts predicted that it would never catch on as a mainstream tool for communication and information sharing. Today, there are 5.16 billion Internet users worldwide.

Cell Phones: When cell phones first hit the market, many people thought they were unnecessary and too expensive for most people to afford. Today, it is hard to find a person without a cell phone.

MP3 Players: When MP3 players first came out, many experts predicted that people would never give up their CDs and tapes for digital music. Today, MP3 players and digital music are the norm.

Social Media: When social media first emerged, many experts predicted that it would be a passing trend and that people would quickly lose interest. Today, there are 4.26 billion social media users worldwide.

Streaming Video: When streaming video first became popular, many experts predicted that it would never catch on as a mainstream way to watch television shows and movies. Today, streaming video is the primary way many people consume media.

Electric Cars: When electric cars first hit the market, many experts predicted that they would never catch on because of their limited range and high cost. Today, electric cars are becoming more popular and increasingly affordable.

Cloud Computing: When cloud computing first emerged, many experts predicted that it would never catch on as a mainstream way to store and access data. Today, cloud computing is an essential tool for many businesses and individuals.

Virtual Reality: When virtual reality first emerged, many experts predicted that it would never catch on as a mainstream technology. Today, virtual reality is increasingly popular in gaming, entertainment, and other industries.

Smart Home Devices: When smart home devices first hit the market, many experts predicted that they would never catch on as a mainstream way to control and monitor the home. In 2023, total worldwide smart home device revenues are expected to reach $139.3 billion

Drones: When drones first hit the market, many experts predicted that they would never catch on as a mainstream technology. Today, drones are used for a wide variety of purposes, including delivery, photography, and surveillance.

The Telephone: When Alexander Graham Bell first invented the telephone in 1876, many people thought it would never be practical or useful. They believed that people would never want to talk to each other over long distances and that the technology was too complex to be widely adopted. 

The Steam Engine: When James Watt first developed the steam engine in the 18th century, many people thought it would be too dangerous and unreliable to be used in practical applications. Today, steam engines are used in a wide range of applications, including powering trains, ships, and industrial machinery.

The Airplane: When the Wright brothers first flew their airplane in 1903, many people thought it would never be able to fly for more than a few seconds. Today, airplanes are one of the most important forms of transportation in the world.

The Television: When television first became popular in the 1930s, many people thought it would be a passing fad and that people would never want to watch a small screen in their homes. Today there are over 1.72 billion televisions worldwide.

The Personal Computer: When the first personal computers were introduced in the 1970s, many people thought they would be too expensive and complicated for most people to use. 

The Mobile Phone: When mobile phones first became popular in the 1980s, many people thought they would be too expensive and impractical for most people to use. Today, mobile phones are an integral part of our daily lives.

The Tablet Computer: When tablet computers first became popular in the 2010s, many people thought they would never be able to replace traditional laptops and desktop computers. Today, tablet computers are becoming increasingly popular as a more portable and convenient alternative to traditional computers.
