**TL,DR**: Don't follow trends in the world of technology because usually they are not based on scientific
|
||
|
|
reasons and only based on so many people who don't have enough insight talking about a subject.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
During my day to day life I see many conversations on social media around trends in technology. People
|
||
|
|
try to settle many debates by resorting to trends. "Everyone is using it, so it has to be the best!",
|
||
|
|
"It's all over the web, so it has to be true" or "It's impossible for so many people to be wrong, so
|
||
|
|
it must be good" or tons of similar reasonings. I always wondered about the nature of trends and hypes
|
||
|
|
and how they navigate the world. This post is the summary of my thoughts on the topic that lead me to
|
||
|
|
a hypathesis on the behavior of trends and how to ride them.

In many cases people try to follow the hurd and the collective wisdom.
