Why all the hype? (Score 1)

Why does everyone assume that "IT" is going to be the next great product that will solve everyones problems? Sure, this guy has made some great stuff in the past but that doesn't at all mean that "IT" will be great or useful. IT could be a useless piece of shit. It could be some product that looks great on the surface(e.g. Parking meters that were first made to ease parking and traffic problems and now are used to make cities tons of money and not help with traffic or anything else now) but turns out to be just another product destroyed by the human desire to make money. I hope it's great but why the hell fall into the hype just to be let down and upset about what IT really is later?
