“640K ought to be enough for anybody.”
—Bill Gates, 1981
How Predictions Become Reality
A long time ago, Jules Verne wrote a story about sending people to the moon by blasting them out of a giant cannon.

Based on the science of their day, they created visions of how to achieve such a feat, using rockets instead of cannons. When all the conditions were right, these visions evolved into reality.
