Cloud provider INAP surveyed IT professionals to see what they thought of the biggest tech trends, and the result is a list that tech leaders could use to plot initiatives for the year ahead. The survey results break down into two categories: The most overhyped trends and those most deserving of attention.
The most overhyped trends of 2020 1: Augmented reality.
INAP's Laura Vietmeyer notes that AR may be more popular than this makes it seem, as despite being considered the most overhyped it also was considered worth attention by 51% of respondents.
In other words, 5G may be happening now, but it's still an overhyped trend because it won't even be practical to consumers for another five years.
