I think this article demonstrates the 80/20 principle: Just having a technology on the marketplace is 20% of the way there. The other 80% is solving small, but critical problems, needed prior to adoption.

I wish we could stop abusing Pareto's law …

Rule of thumb for the 80-20 principle: 80% of the usage of this principle in a discussion is bullshit and only 20% of people talking about it ever heard of Pareto ;)
