Below is a section of article by Technology Investor Magazine that listed top 14 technologies that will fail. "Doomed to fail" Over-hyped technologies to avoid in 2001.

8. High Definition TV.

"HDTV is fabulous. Better clarity, colors, sounds and interactivity. The problem is years later, no one can agree on a single standard. Without a single standard, HDTV makers must make sets that work with many standards. This raises HDTV set prices well above regular TV sets. To date no one has sold the American public on HDTV being so much better. It's the old chicken and egg. Without viewers, broadcasters will shun the high cost of HDTV broadcasts. Without HDTV broadcasts, no one will buy the sets."
