One problem I have with that hype cycle diagram is that it appears to show that all technologies that get a lot of hype will eventually even out and get good adoption once they go through some growing pains.

Realistically though a lot of new tech will get into the hype stage and then everyone will realise that is in fact no good or just disappear for some other reason.

People see that diagram and think it doesn't matter if you jump in at the hype stage because eventually this tech will become mainstream, when a lot of the time that graph just drops to zero after the hype stage.
