The Hype Blender

Articles, news items, web pages, power points  nowadays are flooded with keywords considered hottest/coolest/most hip. I call that the Hype Blender. If you have a blender, add the latest buzzwords , run the blender for a few minutes..... you will get a concoction.

The concoction must be important and relevant since it contains the latest buzzwords, right???

Are you sure??

From a customer perspective, they see these concoctions in hundreds /thousands every day/week. If they end up believing/investing in everyone of them, they would be bankrupt in no time.

From a reader/viewer perspective as well, if they start believing every concoction with the latest buzzwords, they will go mad in no time!

The long term successes in my view are those 

-that do not necessarily come from a blender

- that are original

- have deep thought behind them that pass critical scrutiny.
