So is metaverse, at least depending on the definition. Second Life is mentioned as an example of one on Wikipedia and that died pretty quickly because it was more of a mechanism instead of a destination in itself. The general concept of hanging out online with an avatar and friends is not gone at all
5G was another hype word. Can't say that's not useful! I don't really notice a difference with 4G (and barely with 3G) but apparently on the carrier side things got more efficient and it is very widely adopted
I guess there's a reason the Gartner hype cycle ends with widespread adoption and not with "dead and forgotten": most things are widely picked up for a reason. (Having said that, if someone can tell me what the unique selling point of an NFT was, I've not yet understood that one xD)
