"This telephone has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. The device is inherently of no value to us.

-- Western Union internal memo, 1876.

4.

I think there is a world market for maybe five computers

-- Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM 1943

5.

There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.

-- Ken Olsen, president, chairmanand founder of Digital Equipment Corp., 1977

6. What does CD&DU do?

Our ordinary conceptual system, in terms of which we both think and act, is fundamentally metaphorical in nature. (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980)

7. Need for metaphor

all communication requires agreement on metaphorical underpinnings; otherwise, people talk in a skewed fashion, misunderstanding basic concepts or reference or being baffled by them

(Marcus, 2002)

8. Our metaphor

L&T @ CQU as the design, construction and maintenance of buildings
