Internet of Things - Technology focus

Overall, the phenomenon of EA frameworks most certainly is a grand management fad that was shamefully swallowed by the EA community. Moreover, it arguably represents one of the most ridiculous fads in the history of management, or ‘the fad of the century, which proposed so few new ideas relative to the previously existing approaches, wasted so much money in organizations globally, brought so little value to practice and, taking all that into account, is still not unanimously acknowledged as a fad. Even worse, instead of being rejected outright as impractical and forgotten, EA frameworks slowly get institutionalized into the fabric of society in the form of university courses and prerequisite certifications for architects, perpetuating themselves and causing permanent cognitive dissonance between rhetoric and reality throughout the EA community.  As it requires a rich imagination, unshakeable faith, or strong commercial motivation to find any resemblance between how successful EA practices actually work and what popular EA frameworks prescribe, these frameworks do not deserve to be discussed seriously, but only to be derided and thrown out. Do not try to implement EA frameworks and, please, beware of the next fads!
