Hi banchan, The only reference I found was from: Design Management: An Oxymoron? Laurence P. Feldman University of Illinois at Chicago http://www.pdma.org/visions/oct95/fe.html "...is replete with significant product innovations, the need for which were greatly underestimated, as suggested by the statement made in the early days of the telephone that "Telephones are a great invention. Every city should have one." Regards, tlspiegel |

Here's a slightly different version: "In the 1880s the Secretary of Commerce said that telephones are wonderful and every city should have one." http://www.digitalspace.com/papers/i-vision-interviews/virtualkiss.html This attribution is almost certainly incorrect, though, because there was no Secretary of Commerce in the 1880s. http://www.commerce.gov/secretaries.html |
