Can we stop acting like the Gartner "hype cycle" is anything more than a marketing gimmick created Gartner to validate their own consulting/research services?
While you can absolutely find cases that map to the "hype cycle", there is nothing whatsoever to validate this model as remotely accurate or valid for describing technology trends.
Where is crypto in the "hype cycle"? It went through at least 3 rounds of "peak of inflated expectation" and I'm not confident it will ever reach a meaningful "plateau of productivity".
Did mobile ever have "inflated expectation"? Yes there was a lot of hype in the early days but those people hyped about it, rushing to build mobile versions of their websites... were correct.
The "hype cycle" is a neat idea but doesn't really map to reality in a way that makes it useful. It's only useful for Gartner to create an illusion of credibility and sell their services.
