Freedom and the Internet

This is my Senior year of college and while I start focusing on the horizon ahead, I look myself in the mirror and ask myself, "Where do I want to go?" I am at the fulcrum point in life where I get to choose basically everything that enters my mind. Freedom is a scary thing.

So here goes.

The Internet. A friend told me to buy a personal web domain name while they're cheap. Another friend told me to get GMail. I went into a Dick's Sporting Goods to apply for a job and they told me to go home (and apply on-line).

Like many of you out there, I turned away from the internet and thought that with the dot-com bubble, where 17 dot-com companies paid over 2 million dollars for Super Bowl XXXIV TV spots, the market was jam packed with venture capitalists and hardcore tech nerds who spend half of their day on the computer (with all due respect). Why waste my day learning C++ programming when I can be playing four square all day?

But the dot-com world prevailed and as I type into my laptop, like millions of others, I realize that this shit aint goin away! I guess the nerds are laughing now that computer software engineers are one of the hottest jobs in the world. And while they didn't stress this in grade school, globalization is not just a technological phenomenon but a new way to do business.

As this blog progresses, I will talk my insight on as many random topics as I can think of. Enjoy!
