Watch out for hypes in ICT

Hypes

 ICT has a rich history of hypes where people thought that this would be a panacea for all problems. These hypes lasted for some time like paradigms in Karl Popper's science philosophy. From the top of my head we had the following hypes in the past:

• relational / SQL databases (70's)
• structural design
• object oriented design (80's)
• component based development (90's)
• design patterns (1995)
• scrum / agile (2001)
• AI (2022)

 All these hypes except scrum have contributed to the current solution space and are still part of the curriculum. However we also know now that these are still problems to tackle.
