We are in a new era. An era of hyper capitalism, spendism, smartism, consumerism, monetizationsism, materialism, paymentism, and verificationism. Never before in the history of industrialized society has there been such rapid technological and social change. People are spending more, saving less, technological breakthroughs are being made every day, millions of people from all over the world pour onto the web. We’re in a high tech web 2.0 boom. A global economic boom unlike any ever soon before. Brazil, India and Chinese economies rapidly developing.

[...] It looks like the doom and gloom ‘we’re in a bubble’ crowd has struck again. Here is a satirical montage that tries to illustrate that web 2.0 is a reincarnation of the dotcom bubble of 1999. Being that we’re in a new era of economic and social perpetualism and that there is no bubble I completely disagree with the web 2.0 doomsayers. Anyway, the video is fun to watch because it oozes with jealousy, envy, and resentment. [...]
