"The dot-com bubble didn't prove the internet was a fad -"
The internet is a medium, an interconnection of autonomous computer networks
A "web" of hyperlinked HTML pages is one use of an internet
However this internet is more than a handful of popular websites incorporated as companies
Perhaps that's why it was called the "dot-com" bubble and not the "internet" bubble
- tim333 1y agoThe internet predated dot-coms by two or three decades and wasn't very bubbly - mostly government funded links between academic and military institutions. It was only when commerce got in there in the 90s that things started getting busy and then bubbly.
