How Big Data, Internet of Things, and Virtual Reality Rose and Fell. We just love disruption in the digital age. From the iPhone to ridesharing, and everything in between and beyond, consumers are always eager for the next best thing while brands are ready to change the way they do business. But not everything that glitters is venture capital gold. Some recent solutions that were lauded as revolutionary seemed to have stalled, and are in danger of ending up like Coke Zero.

Isn’t it remarkable how things we learn at one point in our life come back to us as welcome gifts later?
