Good point. A few years ago, the big thing was AI. Everybody was talking about how AI would put half of the population out of jobs. Nowadays it's all about cryptocurrencies, which are being hyped as nothing short of a revolution. It's always the same nonsense with a different name.

Most tech, even the overhyped stuff, seriously outlives the news cycle. Type into trends.google.com something that was popular a few months ago, you'll see what I mean.

For example, remember Cathie Wood? She's already forgotten. The "Facebook whistleblower" will be forgotten in about a month.
