Dot.com to Dot.bomb

In this blog I wanted to talk about Dot.com to Dot.bomb, don't worry the internet was never turned into an actual explosive. However the phrase Dot.com to Dot.bomb refers to the big changes that occurred when the many companies, our .com's took to the world wide web for success.

In this era of time many changes occurred on the internet, a lot of companies went bust hoping to make a name for themselves on the internet, however a lot of companies found success as well. This was well charted in the financial market at the time, many people were putting stocks into these companies and were hoping to make a profit. Take pets.com for example, this was a company that sold pet supplies for costumers online, the company invested a lot into advertising, even having popular ads during the Superbowl air time. However pets.com eventually failed to make a profit online, and is one of the many companies that failed in this era. On the other hand, have you heard of Amazon? I am sure you have, it is a great company that sells virtually everything online, they now have stores that you can take what you want and walk out all without waiting in line at a cash register. Yeah that Amazon, back then everyone that it would be a failure. Amazon was one a the companies that really prospered thanks to the growth and popularity of the internet.

I was really glad to learn about all this history in my class, it was really interesting to not this important part in the rise of the world wide web and everything people can do on it. As someone who was just a kid in during this time, it never seemed important to me, but I now know just how important it was.
