I prefer Gartner’s Hype Cycle[1] way of displaying this. This post seems pretty inspired by it but the removal of the graph really makes it harder to grok quickly.
Still, the trend seems to be:
1. New technology, over promises
2. Marketing latches onto the overpromise and bolsters it, regardless of lack of research
3. Companies built around the technology fail, until a few find the niche the technology fits into.
Makes you wonder how much money is wasted on just trying to capitalize on new tech. The last company I worked for wasted loads chasing the latest and greatest.

- jollybean 5y agoThere are many products, indeed, entire categories, that never come out of the 'trough of disillusionment'.
