"It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future." ― Yogi Berra For every ten IT trends/fads, roughly only one has staying power in my observation. The others often move into niches or fade. If anyone was that good at predicting the diamonds from the duds, they'd be golfing with Warren Buffett instead of poking around Hacker News. Note that I thought the internet had big potential in the late 90's, as I was getting hooked on Compuserve (a precursor to webbish things). I just didn't think it would ruin biz CRUD/GUI's, rather staying in the consumer lane.
