My 10 year old son (an accomplished gamer) and I finally watched a program I’d TiVo’ed on PBS back in September called “The Video Game Revolution”.
About halfway through, I was dumbstruck over how clearly I saw the parallels between the irrational exuberance of the first video game ‘bubble’ and the same kind of giddy exuberance during the internet bubble.

Have you also stopped to consider that the same thing is happening right now to the internet?
