Gartner published its hype cycle report recently. The "Internet of Things" is now at the top of the hype cycle, defined as "peak of inflated expectation". "Big Data" which has been there before, and now moved down the line of disillusionment. Another hype in the height is the "natural language question answering" that was hyped by IBM's Watson. In the upwords side we can see among other things: software-defined anything, connected home, and prescriptive analytics. Note that in the right-hand side there are technologies which are considered mature, such as: speech recognition, enterprise 3D printings and in-memory analytics. "Complex event processing" is moving slowly down the disillusionment path.
