How to evaluate a tech trend
To assess whether a trend is worth attention, look at maturity (proof-of-concept vs. production-ready), real-world use cases, cost and integration effort, security and compliance implications, and whether it solves a specific business or user problem. It’s also helpful to separate hype from evidence by checking benchmarks, case studies, and independent reviews.
