After you have reviewed some of the sources about the bubble and have a good feel for it, you will be in a position to write a short (3- to 4-page) paper on the topic: The Major Effects of the “Dot-Com Bubble Burst” on the Internet of Today. You are expected to address the following questions in your paper:
- What are the positive and negative effects of the dot-com bubble burst on the Internet of today?
- What lessons were learned from the dot-com bubble burst? What is your conclusion about the major effects of the dot-com bubble burst on the current Internet?
Your paper should be 3–4 pages long. Take a definite stand on the issues, and develop your supporting argument carefully. Using material from the background information and any other sources you can find to support specific points in your argument is highly recommended; try to avoid making assertions for which you can find no support other than your own opinion.
Provide proper citations for any material you reference from other sources.
