**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.
