You can stick your Gartner hype circles in a pipe and smoke them; this is all you need to know:
Something is invented
Somebody else successfully brings it to market
Some people buy one
Some more people buy one
My Dad buys one
My Mum spends her time saying “why do you spend so much time playing with that toy?”
Some more people buy one
My Mum buys one
Dad becomes first-line support to Mum
