Twice as long...still too soon

Malone's Third Law of Technology
Quote: "Every technology revolution takes twice as long as we expected, and half as long as we are prepared for."
Comment: Elearning, blogging, virtual reality, wireless, etc...all fall into the category of over-hyped. Yet, they continue to move forward. It seems the trend is: hype it (until you get sick of it), then say it's over, then the real results happen. As soon as some one declares it's over...you know it's here to stay...
