Article misses the important point

[edit]

The Hype_Cycle exists so that the many corporations benefiting from technology churn can make money.

- The paid research organizations selling far future technology strategy consulting to companies
- The paid research organizations selling strategic planning for future technology to implement in the next year 
- The technology media selling print/online content review/howto/what it is and advertisements hosted therin
- The consulting firms selling training, certification for the technology
- The book authors for the technology
- The consulting firms selling product implementation
- The vendors selling training, tools, software libraries for the technology
- The vendors having new product to sell and retiring/end-of-life existing products
- The bloggers/independent consultants promoting their consulting services and selling advertising on blogs for that technology

It's a 7 year cycle designed to churn old technology out and get spending on new technology without regard to if the new technology will be viable in production for 10 years.

Re: Suggested Move to Gartner Hype Cycle and question about branded graphical presentation

[edit]

It's branded because it's always used as Gartner Hype Cycle, and as such I support the name change. I think a Hype Cycle article could be merited when supported by research, but that is not this. --LaPingvino (talk) 14:40, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
