Lol
Hey dude
Don’t do another DOT COM BUBBLE
hahahaha
Damn wish we have something like that again
GREAT BUYING OPPORTUNITIES
yup, it was during an era where I was still a starving college student and I worked for peanuts to pay my apartment and take girls out. It was also a time when I understand what stuck up is all about. I came from a non tech, country side living to a high tech area and was exposed to a world full of imagination. You go to a McDonald during lunch time and you see lines of people buying their lunch and all of them are displaying their stuck up badges like a bad azz. It was all about IBM and intel and them cisco guys that shines. They give free bmw just to hire you on as a hiring bonus. It was during and era where ceo's are popping out of nowhere cuz they started a dot com company. If you open a business, you can be a ceo if you want. It was that simple.
There are conventions on every weekends You go to these and you get like 300+ vendors, talking about their dot comer companies and what products or services they can offer you to help with your own business. It was during a time when all bright young college students would like to do an intern for them just to walk around with that stuck up face badges. I get jelly when I see a young kid working with engineers. It is all people talks about here in the silicone implant valley. Business and all business talks.
As a college student, all you can do is dream about being a top shot one day.
25 years later, I go to Mcdonalds and you don't see that many people sporting their badges. I have became them but I don't sport my stuck up face badge when I'm out for lunch. Big campuses like cisco used to take a few buildings are now vacant. No one cares to know who or where you work at anymore cuz it is played out. There is a lack of prestige or pride in regards to these big names internet companies. I used to remembered that bay area tourism includes driving and taking pix of google and facebook or the apple campuses. You drive around technology drives area or along the highway and you can just read out all the names of them companies and you see and recognized. To you guys, you guys still get the hype but to us living here, we got the picture. The hype is over and it doesn't brighten up our eyes when we see big names companies or the likes of elon musk, he's just another weed smoking fool like the rest of them. Ceo's used to be like king. They used to be somebody but if you run into them at costco here in the bay area, it is just another rich dude who has more money than you do.
Alright, this is getting long, I'll stop here.
