dot com bust

When the dot com boom faltered in 2000/2001 Once upon a time when the www was still a new thing, a bunch of people realised the possiblity for income from this new resource. Thus, the comercialisation of the www began. As computer and internet access became more accessable via cheeper prices and more availablity, the amount of money dot coms brought in was in some cases incredible. Thus, we ended up with dom com billionare senarios where (for example) 21-year-olds were becomming rich in some cases very quickly. Unfortunatly, it wasen't meant to last. Much of the dot com income came from advertising via banner ads and pop-ups. Unfortunatly, as people grew tired of these and learned to ignore the banners and close the pop-ups the second they appeard (and started using pop-up blockers), the value of online advtertising rapidly fell. Suddenly, the amount of revenue gained from ads plumeted and (as an example) it started taking like thirty clicks or views of an ad to earn as much compensation as one would get. Saldly, a lot of dom coms coudlen't keep up and what accounted for much on their income vanished. In a matter of months, what was a booming industry suddenly became a bust industry. dom coms were failing right left forward and center, people were losing jobs with their entire investments lost because the companies stock prices plumeted and the job market was flooded with former dom com employees desperatly seeking employment. Since so many people thought the dom com boom would last forever, they had invested a lot of money in dot com companies. They too ended up losing massive revenue and in some cases had to lay off a employees their losses were so severe. As a result, we now have more unemployed computer professionals then any other industry COMBINED and finding a computer job is incredibly difficult.

Review by Declan  K.

it was the best and it was so worth the 10000000000 dollars

Can we really send one to Trump? That's where mine is going. Anyone who gets it will see it as a compliment, I'm sure. Love my mug and love that new "urban dictionary" term: Celebritrash. It'll be in the mainstream dictionaries next week.

My friend saw the message on the cup ordered at a mutual friends house. We think it’s hilarious so had to put it on a coffee cup. Funny, great Christmas present. If she can’t use in public she can always use at home for pens and pencils on her desk!

Bought the "Bump Down" mug for my boyfriend, he thought it was the greatest and couldn't believe I'd actually found something with the phrase on it!

Review by Doug S.

First heard the term “Cheddar Headed” from the song Feel Good by the Gorillaz. Had to look it up and found the definition hilarious and at times very true! So......had to have it! Took it to work and it definitely made an impression. Hahaha!

Heavenly Mug This mug has been sent from the heavens. I'm too broke to buy it. But one day... I will. I will be mugged, dammit!

AndreaNov 6

Why am I here? I don't know how I got here, but I can't stop writing weird things on the cup...😅 Help me. I have a test to study for. A family. Also, if I wasn't broke I would buy 10,000 of these mugs. They look highly entertaining. Love this website, and I probably will fail the test. 🙃

I took time designing it but wasn't sure, online tools being what they are, that what I was seeing was for sure what I'd get. Very much appreciated the customer service communication which verified that what I'd designed was what I wanted, and the shipping was quick too.
