What a difference a crystal ball can make

In reminding us of the shortsighted and misjudged opinions of IBM Chairman Thomas J Watson and Ken Olsen, Michael Gatoff, has only proved what a difference a crystal ball can make. If these men had had the benefit of looking into this magical solid globe of glass, they would have come to quite the opposite conclusions about the future use and necessity of computers in our daily life today.

In fact, it is Michael Gatoff, who needs to be reminded that what was explained and illustrated at the launch of optegra by the futurist Patrick Dixon, was nothing short of foretelling tomorrow's solutions by way amazing and practical use of microchips in the eye to help restore sight. It was all based on research and positive results. His stimulating presentation discussed the future of things to come in ophthalmology as a matter of fact and not as some fantasy idea.
