I'm amazed by the "It'll never work" attitudes of people sometimes.

I suppose there's a good feeling that comes from pointing out perceived flaws and problems in things, or from treating emerging inventions as though they were fully commercialized products.

I can only imagine what erstwhile tech forums would have read like if they'd been around when Edison was churning out ideas at Menlo Park, or if there had been internet commenters looking over Marconi's shoulder, or Bell's.

I still think voice communication is a great idea, and mobile phones are failing hard at it. It's not about the quality of the call even, it's about the way people handle reachability, distraction and personal space.
