The dot com was burst in 2000/2001, it was like the end of the world; (Ok, I exaggerated...) Big (and small) companies collapsed one after another, employees getting layoff left and right, the countries are at war, virus is killing people. To some, it's a nightmare.

During the past few years, the economy surrounding the net seem all dry up and will not return for a while. VC money is tight, if there are any. Companies are struggling to still alive and hang in for the storm to past. People is turning every rock trying to find jobs, or have to change career all together.

Now the market is turning around, things are getting better. Money is flowing in (and out of) the net again. Even it's not like back in 2000. People found jobs available.

Another economics cycle ended for yet a new one to start.

New technologies are developed in the past few years, but do we progress to another level? or merely just another incarnation of the same old with new wrapping.

[update]
Second thought, even those it might be a new wrapping..... but it certainly better and improved.
