English term or phrase: If hype was to be taken at face value
It can be easy to lose oneself in the hype that surrounds the latest technological developments. **If hype was to be taken at face value** then by now the world would have shifted from desktop to browser and more recently from desktop to tablet and smartphone.

Wie würdet ihr das formulieren?

*Hype* hat sich im Deutschen bereits einen Platz erobert siehe hier:

Mir persönlich gefällt in deinem Kontext *für bare Münze nehmen* am besten

if hype was to be taken at face value
Würde man jeden Hype mitmachen


Explanation:
Auch wenn ich grundsätzlich Gudrun zustimme, würde ich mich in diesem Kontext etwas mehr vom Original entfernen. So wie ich den Ausschnitt verstehe, spricht sich der Autor gegen jeden Hype um tablets, smartphones etc. aus. Meines Erachtens ginge auch:
- Würde man sich auf jeden Hype einlassen
- Würde man jeden Hype Ernst nehmen
