   I don’t know of any interesting IT statistics, but if you want an attention-grabber have you considered IT quotations? Some examples include:

   “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.

   “There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.”
   Ken Olson, president, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Corp., 1977

   “Computers in the future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons.”
   Popular Mechanics, forecasting the relentless march of science, 1949

   “I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.”
   Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, 1943

   “640K ought to be enough for anybody.”
   Bill Gates, 1981

   “Any program that is finally working correctly is obsolete.”
   Arthur C. Clarke

   “Bill Gates says no matter how much more power we can supply, he’ll develop some really exciting software that will bring the machine to its knees.”
   David House, 1989

   There are lots more if you do a search on the internet.
