I don’t want to believe that the tech industry is inescapably bound towards another dangerous bubble. I have been able to rationalize my denial with the idea that the Silicon Valley of the ’90’s is not the Silicon Valley now. We are smarter, more calculating, and led by veterans who know how to help nurture the sustainable growth of a global market.
Then I heard that among the panel of judges at Startup Weekend in Los Angeles were Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore.

The Wall Street Journal recently published an article on how modern Silicon Valley is starting to look a lot like 1999. While the tech industry is more mature than we were 12 years ago, it’s hard to deny that tech’s rise from the recession could very well turn into another unsustainable bubble.
