Our class seems to
end on the same wave length it started, from “startup.com documentary”to “Dot.com
to Dot.bom” review via what it takes to start and succeed in business. Reggie
Aggarwal and Mark Esposito had already warned us that entrepreneurship is a way
of life which can have great rewards, but also has downfalls and frustrations. Dot.com
illustrated exactly
this thought since its review reveals how it has been almost caught up falling
apart. Moving from dot.com boom to dot.com bust, the dot.com business followed
the trajectory of a projectile kicked off in the air.
However, there is
this crawl back period that leads us to moderate our judgment of dot.com. If leaving
the ground level the projectile is naturally expected to return to it, dot.com
didn’t really fall apart. The effects of the bust were softened by companies
buying others. Technology has then
changed our lives in an irreversible way, although we can still see the scares
of the bust. Some lessons were learned and some measures were taken to prevent
similar disaster.
As stated before technology entrepreneurship is
a risky business which has sorrow along the way. Many successful entrepreneurs
have failed at one point or another. As for me I just need to have the
motivations and characteristics required of a true entrepreneur before I put my
idea(s) in motion. Other people’s mistakes may be a warning for future entrepreneurs.
No matter what the outcomes, there are
always lessons to learn from and experiences to gain.
