I had lived through the internet bubble in 2000 to 2001 when everybody talked about how the internet would change everything and that it was the dawn of an entirely new economy, a New Economy in capital letters, where the old rules were meaningless and the sky was the limit. Prices of internet company shares seemed to know only one direction: up. Media and markets were in a frenzy, every new stock with a ‘.com’ appended sold like hot bread rolls. But all parties must end, and the dot-com bubble ultimately did burst with losses reaching hundreds of billions of dollars. Millions of investors lost their money and many faced financial ruin.
