Número ocho: Dot.com to Dot.bomb

The dot.com to dot.bomb presentation covers what happened back then and is seen through the eyes of dinosaurs. The Dot.com bomb refers to when the www was developed by Tim Berners Lee and released to the general public. It was written using HTML, a coding language that allows a user to create interactive and visual web pages. This revolutionized the internet and brought about a decade in which companies boomed and the market was healthy. The startup.com movie gave us a perfect example of one of those companies, govWorks. They went bankrupt after not being able to adapt and burning through all the money they received as investments. Man, companies had a tragic ending like this and that is why the dinosaurs were used for this presentation because they represent a species/race (companies) that were wiped out in one fell swoop because they couldn’t handle change. Just like in the past these dinosaurs and companies died off because they couldn’t adapt to the ever-changing market and the ones who did adapt, ate up the other companies like those same dinosaurs. These companies would find the product they wanted to push and when that product or service was set up, they would go IPO or initial public offering. These same companies would have a crap ton of money come in from investors. But when they couldn’t really keep their end that money dried up and these companies would throw in the towel. This led to billions of dollars being wiped out when multiple bankruptcies happened. So they were quite literally exterminated like the dinosaurs were by that meteor.
