It's possible to learn too much from a crisis. Fast growth inherently has risks like this, but overall the premise is not wrong. Computers and the internet are important. We do need lots of people who can make them do new things. These skills are possible to learn, with talent, motivation and investment of time. The late 90s was fueled by the correct realization of these things. It just misjudged the value of early versions of everything. The Microsofts of the internet launched 10, 15 years after the web started to blow up. The mistake was thinking that all the land would be grabbed by 2002. Today's tech growth is more real, like the industrial revolution. It's productive, even if it produces stupid pictures sometimes.
