Spot the Not #1 - Famous wrong predictions

Below is a set of quotes. All of them are real except one which I made up. Can you spot the not?


1. This "telephone" has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. 

2. Stocks have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau.

3. Electricity is merely a scientific curiosity; it has no practical applications. 

4. I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.

5. Airplanes are interesting toys but of no military value.

6. The abdomen, the chest, and the brain will forever be shut from the intrusion of the wise and humane surgeon.

7. I do not believe the introduction of motor-cars will ever affect the riding of horses.

8. Louis Pasteur's theory of germs is ridiculous fiction.
