People were following the hype and cargo-culting Java, XML, Visual Basic in similar ways.
Yet I really feel that the echo chamber effect is stronger now. People seem to need something to be hyped and polarized about.
Nuanced conversation becomes more difficult as the hyped crowd overwhelms any conversation.
