MiniDiscs. So much better than those bulky cds...
Segways had a ton of hype and were going to revolutionize the way people get around. Now I just see them being used by tour groups and mall cops.
Second Life. EVERYONE was going to be there.

Music File Sharing was going to kill the big business music industry. Streaming songs on the internet was going to deprive hard working musicians from their livelihood.
Hillary Clinton.
100 mpg engine.

Ishtar.
What Chip said, except now its Chelsey Clinton... but she failed first and is now being promoted as the next big thing.
I can also add SLS also, while not a failure, the mp3 era is over. Kind of goes with Jim's comment.
Concorde air travel
Bruce Springsteen
When I was a kid, peanut butter and jelly in the same jar.
Chip, LOL! Well, she's a big deal in her own head and within an "elite" circle.
nd, do you remember "koogle"? From the 1970s, of course. It was peanut butter and chocolate (or cinnamon or banana) swirled together in the same jar. Also, a crime against humanity
I remember seeing the Concorde once, parked at Kennedy airport. Disappointingly small.
1. Global cooling
2. Global warming
Chip beat me to it.
Amartel, I don't remember that product. Although the 70's were a purple hazy blur.
You probably sampled it but have no specific recollection of doing so! It was great for people with the munchies and no inhibitions about eating right out the bottle. (Ie., children and other people in a purple hazy blur.)
Google Glass.
Ted Cruz.
Trey Gowdy.
3-D cinema.
A lot of this stuff has a born-on date sometime in the 1970s. I'm sure that's just a coincidence though.
Actually 3-D movies go back to the 50s.
"Hondo" was shot in 3-D. A lot of monster movies, too.
I saw Jaws 3-D with the stupid glasses. They brought 3-d back as the next big thing so it counts twice!
I'm having trouble connecting to the internet via my computer. Coming to you via my phone from the street. I'll keep trying to connect until I have to go to work later tonight.
Google glass and the concord, how soon I forget.
Can we call 3D printing a failure yet?
It's sure slow as heck
Can we call 3D printing a failure yet?
You can if you call it CNC machining instead.
I use my CNC all the time. It is not a failure.
Paul is dead.
I've just seen people point to a CNC milling machine and call it 3D printing, as if the home printer carves the wording onto the paper, which would be ridiculous, because how could you charge for ink.
Well they are just wrong, now aren't they.
At least Paul is still dead, so we have that going for us.
Combinatorial Chemistry
In the 1990's it was touted as the only viable future for synthetic chemistry with a promise to usher in countless new blockbuster drugs. Instead, it killed innovation (not one major new drug was discovered) and it killed off the existing drug discovery industry. Industry still hasn't recovered. Instead, it shut down.

I am not a fotball fan anymore but I will point out that Eli Manning has won two Super Bowls.
How many did Dan Marino win again?
Peak Oil.
Dan Marino may not have won a Super Bowl, but he did lose 20 lbs. on the Slimfast diet.
Slimfast? I thought it was Ayds
