I suspect that the same criticisms that are usually made of the "product life cycle" concept in marketing also apply to the hype cycle: it can be self-fulfilling, not all products have the same shape curve, etc.<br />Things don't have to be always right, though, to provide insights to planners: the hype cycle can provide a good indication of technology areas for research and consideration for future developments.
