商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書探討了許多技術如何出現，幾乎立即被宣傳或炒作，希望能贏得投資者和/或消費者的心，這些消費者有一天可能希望投資於這項技術（或產品）自己。它解答了消費者對技術的猜測，並提供了一個更聰明、更有利可圖的投資框架。

目錄
引言：乘著炒作周期
1. 不能總是怪罪技術
技術標準、官僚主義、融合、互通性、監管問題、立法、合併和聯盟、投資、風險投資市場、訴訟

2. 好例子，壞消息
電子書的故事：並不是一個引人入勝的故事、WAP的困境、咬著藍牙、呼叫大型LEO、高畫質電視-不是一幅美麗的圖畫、信息設備（或家庭數字化範圍）、家庭網絡和家庭自動化、DSL受到打擊、語音識別-如此多的談話、求救

3. 當技術“推”到了極限
移動商務變得難以銷售、遙感技術降低、GPS-天空是極限、數據遊戲、準備好我的特寫、展會：走出去、我有一篇文章給你

4. 好例子，好消息
無線手機維修、智能卡、人工智能有多聰明？玩（無線）遊戲

5. 發展互聯網（無線）
誰需要它？一個光學幻象、更多（或更少）的網上購物、互聯網泡沫、數字鴻溝

6. 未來的炒作
遵守法律、真正的學習經驗、電池供電的人、3G和你、在這個角落、改進的互聯網訪問、第四代（4G）無線？技術疲勞、不那麼及時的時間表
