We has a very entertaining presentation in class. It was Andrew Fry's journey through the dot.com bubble from the start to the bust. Seeing him talk about the beginning days of the web and how he was a part of it was just impresiive. I knew that he worked on the early part of the web, but I was not aware of the extent that he was a part of it. Some of the things that he said were the first on the web, was awesome. Now a days those things are just common place or are easily surpassed by today's tech many times over.
Listening to his business experience was pretty cool. From working at Microsoft to owning and running multiple companies was very cool to listen to. (and watch there was a power point) While i understand his dislike of Mark Cuban, i think i still like him. However if i was in Andrew fry's position and was out a lot of money because of bad timing i think i would still blame Mark Cuban for that too. So I guess a little hatred is in order. (However i will still like him. He is rich, he had to have done something right.)
The dinosaurs were also a nice touch when talking about the companies that were a part of the web in the early days. It was a nice visual to be able to see how much more customers one company had that the other, and how fast some of them could fail. While it was a little rushed at the end and slightly cut off, probably one of the better presentations i have had in a while.
