Why the Tech Industry Keeps Lying to Itself (and You)

Why the Tech Industry Keeps Lying to Itself (and You)

The tech industry is brilliant at building new things—and terrible at admitting when it gets them wrong. In this video, I break down why our predictions about cloud, AI, big data, blockchain, metaverse, and more so often miss reality by a mile. From wildly optimistic analyst forecasts (including early cloud growth predictions that were way off) to vendor-driven hype cycles, we've built a system that rewards confidence, not accuracy.

I walk through concrete examples where the narrative sounded irresistible, the slideware looked perfect, and the pilots seemed promising—but large enterprises never followed at scale. The core problem isn't intelligence or innovation; it's confirmation bias, misaligned incentives, and a complete underestimation of real-world constraints: legacy systems, budgets, regulation, skills, and risk.

You'll learn how to recognize the telltale signs of hype, how to separate "cool demo" from "sustainable value," and how to ask the uncomfortable questions that cut through the noise. Whether you're a CIO, architect, engineer, or business leader, my goal is simple: help you stop getting pushed around by tech narratives—and start making grounded, reality-based decisions.

If you're tired of being sold "the future" that never quite arrives, this video is for you.
