Target.com to Target.bomb

THIS IS NOT A THREAT!
This blog post is supposed to be on the topic of the dot.com bubble. The topic is referred to as dot.com to dot.bomb. And this blog has to have something to do with Target, so yeah.

The .com bubble was a large part of internet history. It reminds us of what can happen if things that shouldn't have any value whatsoever become overvalued and traded. During the time of the .com bubble, many companies realized the possibilities of the World Wide Web. They realized that if they created a website that did basically anything, they could make money. And it wasn't thousands of dollars or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. It was millions! During this time, companies like sandals.com ( a company that sold sandals on the internet) could be worth more than a company that provided genuine productive service.

It all started in 1993 with an innocent beginning. With the WWW being only 3 years old. In 1994 we started to see companies emerge on the Internet. The big boom occurred from 1995 - 1997. This is when everyone and their grandmother decided to start an internet company. They realized that they could make money off of it. In 2000,  everything collapsed. People finally came to their senses and realized that these companies weren't worth anything. This was a terrifying time because companies fell left and right. Thousands of workers were laid off. This leads to many families not knowing what to do. This is an example of what happens when the true value of something gets blown way out of proportion. We recently had something like this happen with CryptoCurrency and Bitcoin. That also collapsed from 20k a coin to about 6k in a week. We can only wonder what the next bubble will be.
