Don't forget "THE CLOUD" and "IoT"

[–] ragas@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 days ago

The cloud was the dumbest hype because it changed nothing. Network services were now named cloud services, that was it.

We also got:

cyber: the realisation that the internet exists but 20 years too late
big data: companies snorkeling your data for targeted advertising and government surveillance
blockchain: safe ways to pay your dealer and investment scams
VR: the weirdest sort of corporate meetings and some cool game experiments

IOT seems kinda ok in that regard. Connect your microcontrollers to the internet to allow some extra coordination.
