Ask HN: What's the next big tech hype?

2 points by majewsky ↗ HN
So we currently have a front-page story about blockchain hype being over (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18795274), and Ars Technica wrote about the autonomous-driving hype falling apart.

With two hypes now entering the Trough of Disillusionment, I wonder what's going to be the next buzzword.

Please don't suggest AI/ML. Only future hypes, or beginning hypes.

XR. AR and VR already have the stench of death, people have no idea what MR is, but business executives might think they need an XR strategy or they will miss out.

5G. Carriers would be happy to sell you 100x more data, but you would have to pay 100x as much.

Otoh- military just placed 500m dollar order for hololens.

I think hololens will have a monopoly in ar and the rest will go away.

Sorry, but no. There is no way this will attract VCs and bullshit espousing evangelists.
