During the dot com bubble, prices signaled huge demand in the Internet sector.

They were slashed again in 2001 and kept ultra low after the dot com bust.

The dot com bubble wasn't a threat to the banking system as such, but rather a threat to aggregate demand.

And back in the early 20th century, the pursuit of powered man flight was like the dot com of the day.

Unfortunately, sometimes prices fail to perform this signaling function properly, as the dot com and housing bubbles in recent years showed.

First, in contrast to the dot com boom, it is difficult to identify the technological shock that set off the boom.

As Greenspan notes, it was the dot com boom of the 1990 s that finally gave broad currency to Schumpeter s idea of creative destruction.

After financial implosions, such as the collapse of the dot com bubble in 2000 or the sub prime meltdown of 2007 8, such views appear arrogant.

This led to real alarm among policymakers whenever a threat to confidence appeared (as when the dot com bubble burst at the end of the 1990 s).

The dot com boom and bust is often compared to the Gold Rush. But Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos says it s more like the early days of the electric industry.

Indeed, the intermittent over valuation of entire economic sectors recall the dot com bubble from a decade ago indicates that financial markets are often excessively focused on the long term.

The collapse, not long after, of the dot com bubble in 2000 2001 brought on not a depression but merely an output decline so mild as to barely warrant the name recession.

Bernanke had also supported the low interest rate policy implemented after the dot com collapse, which, in the view of many economists, was maintained for too long, fueling the boom and contributing to the bust.

BRUSSELS The first decade of this century started with the so called dot com bubble. When it burst, central banks moved aggressively to ease monetary policy in order to prevent a prolonged period of Japanese style slow growth.

Now ICANN is taking a different tack, allowing for a dramatic expansion of the namespace with a host of new Top Level Domains (TLDs), the suffixes that go after the dot, such as .com, .org, and, soon, .anything.

Thus, even in extreme situations like the peak of the dot com bubble in late 1999 and early 2000 it is very difficult even for those who believe that they know what fundamental values are to make large long run bets on them.

Every dot is a person. We make the dot size proportional to people's body size so bigger dots are bigger people.

The dot com bubble of the late 1990s was a misestimate of the timing, not the magnitude, of the digital revolution. Likewise, Manyika and Baily argue that the much discussed Internet of Things is probably some years away from showing up in aggregate productivity data.

Finally, and also five years too late, the US Treasury secretary should announce that while the strong dollar doctrine was appropriate (and in America s interest) during the dot com boom, the country needs a weak dollar in the aftermath of the austerity bomb s detonation.

It did so, in 1990, and Earth shows up in a grainy image as a pale blue dot. If you go to YouTube and search for Carl Sagan Pale Blue Dot, you can see it, and hear Sagan himself telling us that we must cherish our world because everything humans have ever valued exists only on that pale blue dot.
