Well, you axed the wrong person: Did we know 40 years ago that the Internet would become so useful? My first summer intern job was 40 yrs ago and I designed an opto isolator for telecom at HP that was early steps to go faster with fiber optics... I was ALREADY using the internet to design the electronics with SPICE. We started wiring our terminals to the mainframe with a 10 MB/s fiber optic router. When I got back for my senior year at HP, I told a TA a bit about what I was working on and the new invention I came up with that gave me my own project where they had me work over Christmas vacation to not waste any time... and the TA said he could have used that product to save equipment that got fried by a lightning strike between his building with his terminal and the building where UC had our mainframe computer. So yeah, I had a hunch there was a huge need. ;) BTW, AVGO still has my product for sale exactly as I designed it... the guts were redesigned several times with cheaper and better IC processes but it is still used. I sure wish I got a penny a part for it!
