      Customers worry about what they can do with it, while investors and spectators and vendors worry about buzzwords. Customers determine demand.

      Sadly what some of those customers want to do is to somehow improve their own business without thinking, and then they too care about buzzwords, that’s how the hype comes.

        But what if it actually is magic this time? Just this once!? And we miss the hype train?! (This is a sarcastic impression of real conversations I have had.)
