1. I read a post on HN extolling a new use of some technology. I understand how it works but don't get why. I do not jump on the bandwagon.
2. I read about the same technology but not on HN - maybe an online newspaper. I recognise there is an upcurve. Maybe I should have jumped when I read it on HN.
3. Beeple makes a fortune. My son and I enjoy watching him on corridor crew. I think I still don't know why but it can't be that bad. I do not jump on the bandwagon.
4. I realise I want to know the why makes sense. I play with some tech. I still know how but not why. I do not jump on the bandwagon.
5. The bubble bursts. I retro-think my inaction into foresight - I am glad I did not jump on the bandwagon.
But, just maybe, perhaps why is less important than try.
