"It is difficult to make predictions, especially about the future" - Yogi Berra (?)

But let’s assume we can for a moment.

If we’re living in a 1999 moment, then we might be on a Gartner Hype Cycle like curve. And I assume we’re on the first peak.

Which means that the "trough of disillusionment" will follow.

This is a phase in Hype Cycle, following the initial peak of inflated expectations, where interest in a technology wanes as it fails to deliver on early promises.
