Customers can’t envision the world so if you ask them what they want they’ll tell you the same thing they are familiar with. Then when something better comes along that shows them a new world they’ll take that and you’ll be left with no customers.
When Apple was working on the iPhone if you asked someone would they want an expensive phone without a keyboard they would have laughed at you…
Fast forward to today and Nokia is no longer making phones and everything is a smartphone… Microsoft used to lead the PDA/smartphone space and now they don’t even make a phone/PDA OS anymore…
You sound like Steve Ballmer when he saw the iPhone…
