Read from a copy of the chart titled 'Gartner Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies, 1996' on Pinterest (615x325 GIF, 'Uploaded by user', in a series of pins for 1996 to 2007 by the same account). No Gartner page for the 1996 edition was found, so the exact date is unknown. Fenn's history names Java, Internet terminals and the Worldwide Web at the 1996 peak, which matches the chart. rank is the order along the curve, left to right. The chart has no time-to-plateau markers, so every band is null.
