There are many famous predictions that never came true. Before 1929, there was no sound in movies. The head of one of the biggest movie companies in the United States predicted that no one would want to see actors talk. Of course, he was wrong! In 1977, the head of the largest computer company in the United States said, “No one will want to have a computer in his or her home.” He thought that computers would never be used by most people.predict v. 预言预言future n.将来；未来将来；未来prediction n.预言预言come true 实现；达到实现；达到 come-camecompany n.公司公司 (复数复数companies)think-thoughtsee sb. do sth. 看到某人做某事看到某人做某事(make, let, hear, watch)3 Find these words from this unit.1.
