I would love to start this article with a quote by Al Ries in The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing, in which he specifically speaks about the Law of Acceleration:
A fad is a wave in the ocean, a trend is the tide. A fad gets a lot of hype, and a trend gets very little. Like a wave, a fad is very visible, but it goes up and down in a big hurry. Like the tide, a trend is almost invisible, but it’s very powerful over the long term. A fad is a short-term phenomenon that might be profitable, but a fad doesn’t last long enough to do a company much good. Furthermore, a company often tends to gear up as if a fad were a trend. As a result, the company is often stuck with a lot of staff, expensive manufacturing facilities, and distribution networks […] When the fad disappears, a company often goes into a deep financial shock.
