Information Technology is in a core scientific plateau, I also believe that's true, but that does not mean the current development is trivial. There are a new set of problems that need to be solved, problems in engineering, managment and law. Very important problems. And there is an inmense amount of value being created, and people with money want a piece of that. People that, otherwise, wouldn't invest in tech. There is "hype", but then again, we are in the middle of a process that is change society into something that has never been in the history of mankind.
