What do people want?

"It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them." - Steve Jobs

Or the original from Henry Ford: "If i'd asked people what they'd wanted, they would have said faster horses"

There's nothing wrong with asking people what they want, the value that you're supposed to add is to realize that there's a better option than faster horses.
