That guy...

I was thinking tonight, I feel sorry for all the guys that thought that technology wasn't ever going to win out over older methods. Think about it, there WAS some guy, that when Mr. Bell came out with the telephone, thought that it was never going to fly. This guy HAD to go around buying up all the rights to things like Mores Code machines, the Pony Express, boy runners, and all things of that sort. I bet he was giggling himself to sleep each night with the thought that when this new "idea" fell, he was going to be SOOOO rich because HE, held all the rights to the old ways that were proven true, worthy, and faultless. But in the end the phone did catch on, and that guy was left with 'ashes in his hands' so to speak. I feel sorry for that guy...
