There has been of late, a little rumble about this Internet bubble bursting, with some trying to stir those deep down emotions that took many beers and a little therapy to suppress. Some of it has been thought through, some of it just wants an increase in its blog readership. You have your doomsday scenario from Mark Simon and then there is the counter thought (I think, because Aaron has a "to be continued..." on his post). I guess I am more of an optimist because the one thought that I would like to put on the table and I believe that no one has talked about yet, is that the Internet or web (call it what you will) is ingrained in the human population's life, more than it has ever been. Back in the day, it was all about creating cool technology, especially for males in their 30's and how we could make people want to use it. Now, the web is used more than TV in most youth's lives, so there is no reason to abandon it. And these youth will grow into adults with not knowing life without an Internet, and come to expect that life revolves around the digital output. Now I don't have my head in the clouds too much, and I do realize that there will be a day that the money brought into our business will slow down, and that certain businesses are paying too much, but I don't see that happening any time in the near future. And I am not quite sure that it will happen because Google misses a quarter badly.
