Hype cycle and project design

I was reading about the Hype Cycle on Schell's book chapter 26, which let me thinking that our class project might be going through a wave of disillusionment. I had a peak of excitement in the beginning, but my ignorance on the technology needed to achieve the results we dreamed, as well as to dominate the process, let me go down in the curve. As Schell points out, though, some depression moments are important to make you think realistically and take your project back with more realistic objectives and renewed breath. Below, a hype cycle figure modelling or predicting tendencies related to emerging technologies.
