Henry Ford quote

“If I’d have asked them what they want they would have said a faster horse.”

Someone I’m following on twitter tweeted this quote by Henry Ford and it got me thinking what does it really mean? Is it true?

Does this mean I should go off and design a widget or a program without bothering to talk to its intended users?

Have a read of this website and the responses I think it sums it up perfectly.
