I expect people said the same thing, why change to flat screen, CRTs are fine and cheaper.
And, I will bet you a dollar we have a colony on the Moon by 2030, and on Mars by 2040.

Around the same time (1996) there were various companies trying to build electric cars (GM being one of them, with the EV1).
So, by your logic, electric cars should be the standard by now, just like flat panel TVs...
