My first revolutionary IT hype was:
24% VRML for everything
24% ActiveX for everything
25% XML for everything
11% Semantic Web for everything
12% blockchains for everything
0% AI for everything

@jmorris Yeah, this is a woefully incomplete list, but we IT people have been busy over the past 30 years.

@monsieuricon tough one. VRML was going to be the revolution. But XML and Semantic Web, my oh my, these were the shit! And it was happening! XHTML2 was lovely compared to that bastard HTML5.

@monsieuricon it took some time for me to remember getting hyped up about Itanium, because … I can’t remember why, and thus hype.
