1899年，當時極具影響力的《文摘》雜誌將汽車稱為普通的無馬車，由於其昂貴的成本，將永遠不會像自行車那樣被普遍使用。

現在，我們在英國有了那個該死的城市雨傘，需要一個叫喬納斯-漢威的人堅持不懈地讓其他人都加入到雨傘箱中。

After returning from a trip abroad, Hanway began using an umbrella, which infuriated many coach drivers who saw big booms and business on rainy days and we're scared of losing customers thankfully.

僅僅幾年後，第一次世界大戰期間的法國將軍和盟軍最高指揮官費迪南-福奇稱這些有遠見的發明為有趣的科學玩具，雖然他看到他的飛機現在也是相當有趣的玩具，但他可能並沒有完全錯。

He completely missed the mark when he determined that they were of no military value, aerial photography became a vital operation from both sides during the war.

But it's more important than that for everything that our culture and our civilization depends on starts with Gutenberg's invention and the first flatbed printing press was developed in Germany in the mid 15th century, it was seen as a threat to the work of monks who regarded their hand copying of the scripture as divine labor.

但它比這更重要，因為我們的文化和我們的文明所依賴的一切都始於古騰堡的發明，第一臺平板印刷機於15世紀中期在德國開發，它被視為對僧侶工作的威脅，因為他們將手工抄寫經文視為神聖的勞動。

我們已經習慣於每天與印刷品生活在一起，從早晨的麥片包裝到睡前的書，以至於也許相當難以想象在印刷五號電視之前的世界是什麼樣的，因為今天的電視是多麼的無處不在。

It's hard to fathom that so many people were against the idea.

起初，在蘇格蘭發明家約翰-貝爾德於1925年首次公開演示電視後，他招致了廣播界傳奇人物李-德福斯特的憤怒，他預言該設備將是一場商業和金融災難。

This apparatus was shown to members of the Royal Institution and others on January 27, 1926 and showed through television images in light and shade for the first time baird's invention was also ridiculed by members of the print media with one daily express newspaper editor calling him a lunatic for even thinking the idea of a television was attainable even 20 years down the line, it was still met with skepticism, most notably from Hollywood giant Darryl F.

我們選擇在這十年裡登月，並做其他事情，不是因為它們容易，而是因為它們很難在我們的名單上再次出現，因為無線電先驅李德林 對於像他一樣創新的德雷斯特顯然缺乏很多遠見，因為他宣稱。

無論未來所有的科學進步如何，這樣的人造月球航行都不會發生。

One small step for man on in this case, it didn't take too long to prove to Forest wrong.

愛迪生還沒有完全解決所有的問題，但他確實有一個很好的專利，而且他的專利，儘管有許多其他人試圖進入市場，卻非常有效地保護了他的業務。

While his detractors would eventually see the light, Edison himself proved to be a nay Sayer, as he frequently mocked Nikola Tesla's invention of the alternating current model.
