Overhype

Overhype

Nano-Hype And Market Reality

from the slow-going dept

Well, the typical hype cycle didn't take too long to wrap its way around nanotechnology. About two years ago there were a slew of articles talking about how the next "big" thing was nanotech, then came the inevitable backlash saying that it was all overhyped. Now, we're on the stage after the backlash where some people say that, yes, nanotechnology was overhyped, but that doesn't mean it's no good at all. It just means that people investing in nanotech need to be a bit more patient and look at things in the long term. You know... like real investors.
