Dot.com to Dot.bomb

I was about twelve years old when the dot.com bubble burst and at the time it did not affect my family. My father worked as a machinist for a manufacturer that makes airplane parts and my mother was a secretary at a composite company. So learning about the madness that was the dot.com bubble I must admit was both a bit scary and promising.  I hope to in the future take advantage of such a bubble or at least ensure my future business ventures do not succumb to one.
