Talk:Hype cycle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've come across this particular idea from two different sources; one was a 2005 Gartner update article and the other was one of my classes. In the class, we were calling it something to the effect of the back of the wave phenomenon. I can help but feel like Gartner might have taken an old idea and put its name on it, i.e. intellectual dishonesty. Does anyone know of an older source? Or is Gartner really the group that put the idea out in the first place?

This page should be merged with Gartner's Hype Cycle --84.112.16.84

[edit] Damped sine wave

This curve looks a lot like this:

which is a damped sine wave - there's more on the vibration page in Wikipedia.
