Read from a copy of the chart titled 'Gartner 2001 Hype Cycle for emerging technologies' / 'Gartner Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies, 2001' on Pinterest (628x407 GIF, same pin series as 1996 to 2007). Gartner document 334359 '2001 Hype Cycle of Emerging Trends and Technologies', 2 July 2001, analysts Kevin Haley, Jackie Fenn, Alexander Linden; its summary names Web Services, m-commerce, instant messaging for enterprises, PDA phones and digital signatures at the peak, which matches the chart. Legend 'Time-to-plateau': white less than two years, yellow 2 to 5, red 5 to 10; no marker for more than 10 years. 19 markers, 19 labels. rank is the order along the curve, left to right. Bands read from the markers.
| Label | Phase | Time to plateau | Confidence | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Personal Fuel Cells | innovation_trigger | 5-10 | high | Phase inferred from the label's position on the curve; the chart draws no phase boundaries. |
