The market it cyclical, where it bubbles like it did in the .com boom, people try to push past the current technical limitations, some succeed in doing so while others are just too far ahead and the technology never materializes in a usable way. Take mobile for example, it's been around since the Apple Newton, but it took a whole lot of unrelated technologies maturing before it became the market it is today, along the way there where several mobile booms and busts. When the PDA was coupled with a phone and wireless access got to the speed of at least bearable, then the market finally saw the expansion some of the early believed was there but unable to get to.
This has happened with the PC, Internet, Mobile, Webification of Applications and now it's happening with infrastructure and SaaS. The market will stagnate again, just as it did after the .com bust, but that is the time in which the innovators work to tweak their ideas for the next big push.
