This generic graph is attributed to Gartner.
It became very popular after the NASDAQ bust that started in March 2000.
And for a short while was available on Gartner internal database (with all links) when it was offered for free shortly after 9/11.
It applies - with some variations, different time frame and amplitude - to almost any emerging technology.

Here for example is the curve for 2013

Similar graphs can be found for prior years.
EDIT:
I believe streaming TV fits in right between "Internet of Things" and "Big Data"...
