	Technology hype - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Individuals who promote a given technology may be researchers or inventors interested in gaining publicity or finding a commercial application for their work.
		Hype is closely tied with enthusiasm, but implies communication: Hype is intended to induce enthusiasm in recipients.
		Because of the logistic curve nature of technology adoption, it is difficult to tell, when a new technology arrives, whether hype is justified, or excessive.

	Technology lifecycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There is usually technology hype at the introduction of any new technology, but only after some time has passed can it be judged as mere hype or justified true acclaim.
		Because of the logistic curve nature of technology adoption, it is difficult to see in the early stages whether the hype is excessive.
		Technology adoption typically occurs in an S curve, as modelled in diffusion of innovations theory.

	Introduction
		Even for a less complex technology like GSM it took years to debug and stabilise the technology, particularly the software, in order to make it as reliable and user-friendly as it is today.
		The point, why a hype is detrimental for new technologies is that in the end, customer trust in these technologies and the companies that offer them is undermined, compromising the long-term business prospects of the whole industry.
		As a research organisation and centre of innovation, Eurescom is trying hard to explore, develop and evaluate technologies and services in an unbiased way to give its community of members an accurate and solid basis for their investment decisions in the area of innovative technologies and services.

	Hype - Gartners Hype Cycles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Gartner recognised the "Hype Cycle" as a general trend in the mid-1990s and argues that, by formally examining where a technology currently exists on the cycle, you can get a reasonable measure of the technology's maturity.
		Peak of inflated expectations: This is the highest wave of the technology's hype.
		As the technology is introduced, risk is at its highest; as the technology proceeds through each plateau, risk is reduced.

	Technology hype comes under scrutiny - ZDNet UK News
		Tablet PCs, Internet micropayments, passive RFID and video-conferencing are four technologies that are firmly stuck at the bottom of the "trough of disillusionment", according to the 2005 "Hype Cycle" of emerging technologies released by analysts Gartner on Wednesday.
		Gartner plots the technologies from the first "technology trigger" that starts the process through to the peaks of inflated over-expectation, on through disillusionment and eventually culminating on the "slope of enlightenment" which is usually when companies can start to make real money.
		Collaboration is another of Gartner's key areas of focus for the next year and Alexander Linden, Gartner's research vice-president for emerging trends and technologies, told ZDNet UK that "collaboration tools are an important area of technology and of hype".

	The State of e-Learning: Looking at History with the Technology Hype Cycle
		Consider recent history through the lens of Gartner's Technology Hype Cycle, depicting how hype that outpaces technology leads to unrealistic expectations, followed by a period of ambivalence from a weary and disappointed market.
		I believe there's an inherent symmetry to the technology curve; if it took four solid years to move from the triggers to the peak, it could be 2004 or '05 before we truly reach a time of healthy, manageable growth.
		Despite the current climate, the e-learning hype cycle tells us that just as the highest highs were unsustainable, so too are the lowest lows.

		Carbon nanotubes and speech recognition, service-oriented architecture and RFID also feature in the Hype Cycle which charts the progression of an emerging technology from conception, to market over-enthusiasm, through a period of disillusionment, to an eventual understanding of the technology's relevance and role in a market or domain.
		As such, the Hype Cycle provides a valuable aid to strategic planners who advise their organisations on the adoption of emerging technologies.
		According to Linden, companies can feel compelled to invest prematurely in a technology because it is being hyped or, conversely, they may ignore a technology just because it is not living up to early expectations.

		This phase is an inevitable, and even necessary, stage in bringing new technologies to the mainstream market; and Web services are certainly not immune to this cycle of technology hype.
		In response to this hype, one common question I receive continually from investors, startup companies, and the press is, "What is the size of the Web services market?" These days, it seems everyone wants to know how big of a piece of this pie he or she can expect to carve out.
