Another good one:
“Home taping is killing music.”
—A campaign by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) targeting people who used cassette recorders to tape songs off the radio, 1980

I can't remember it, but one of my faves was athe ex-CEO of IBM predicting there would never be a market for home computers.

The generator has some astonishingly bad predictions. On the other hand, it's not like I've personally made a fortune with my brilliant prognostications.
