Gartner's 2014 Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies










Hype Cycle 2014

As every year in august, the Technology Research branch of the Gartner Inc. publish his Hype Cycle For Emerging Technologies report.

Even without read the full report, from the graph we can see some interesting differences between the Hype Cycle of the last year and from the one of this year:









In example the fast growth of the IoT from IT (innovation trigger) to the PIE (peak of inflated expectation) , or even the fast fall down of the Big Data from the PIE to the TD (trough of disillusionment). Is interesting also the growth from TD to the SE (slope of enlightenment) of technologies like 3D Printing and Virtual Reality, or the entry of the cryptocurrencies.
In my point of view something is too high and something else is too low in the graph, but substantially I agree with the researchers in the global view of what is the technologies future and the path to follow to monetize the progress of one or other of this technologies.
What do you think about this trending graph? Are you agree with Gartner?
