Look at the Gartner Hype Cycle.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gartner_hype_cycle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gartner_hype_cycle
Some things have rebounded after a dismal start
Tablet computers (credit Steve Jobs) vs.
HyperCard (credit Steve Jobs)
All sorts of digital (and analog) media (until they're nearly gone)
Pivoting headlights (making a comeback, I understand )
Cameras that don't need a battery
Gas Turbines?
- viraptor 3y ago> HyperCard I would argue HyperCard of this decade is alive and well as Notion. (And other similar apps)
- duskwuff 3y agoI think that undersells what HyperCard could do. It wasn't just a database or a wiki like Notion; it had some fairly powerful scripting capabilities, and was often used for nonlinear interactive content. (Myst was a HyperCard stack, for example!)
- viraptor 3y agoNotion and others have APIs that can drive whatever you want. But I agree with the gist - it's not the HyperCard reimplemented, but it is HyperCard evolved to today's common needs.
- somat 3y agoI would argue that modern hyper card is the web. a simple document format that can be linked to other documents. with a built in scripting language.
- emmelaich 3y agoAnd (python) notebooks?
- wbl 3y agoFrom Whittle to today gas turbines have only ever gotten better and more used
- drBonkers 3y ago> Gas Turbines? RAM is making an electric truck with a turbine generator as a range extender. I'd prefer a PHEV truck, but EV + turbine isn't terrible either.
