I basically agree. There were a lot of things: Web 2.0, smartphones (as you say and mobile more broadly), broadband had been coming in but really blossomed and a lot of things associated with it... So there was definitely a dot-bomb with a lot of knock-on effects in the tech sector but people who were able to wiggle through a few years to the other side, like I was albeit with not great comp, were mostly OK and generally weren't as affected by 2008 as a lot people outside tech were.
