crap. Forrester is always wrong. Although it will be different. 2001-2003 was a tech bubble, dumb tech "companies" died. The pop was in the context of a relatively strong economy. This time we have a strong tech industry, but a crashing eco

He's an awful speaker but I agree with his essential theses. I spent the first 18 years of my life in an awful suburb. Saturday night for the high school kids is getting drunk in a corn field or behind one of the strip mall. 1) Suburbia is
