- They figured that on the internet, old rules for being cautious about investing in young companies didn’t apply any more and that all anyone needed was a good idea and enough money to reach an audience
- Stocks in tech companies plummeted for the next couple years, and over half of them declared bankruptcy eventually losing trillions of dollars in total
- Napster had been one of the fastest growing businesses in history, but it went bankrupt paying back musicians for copyright infringements
- Creators wrote the computer code and assembled the different documents
- 1 Thing I had no idea about
- DSL Transmits digital data along phone lines instead of analog signals like dial up does; and cable, which uses the wires for a cable box to connect to the internet.
