Bob Simon on the "dot-com kids" in Silicon Alley (2000)

If you know anything at all about the Internet, you know you can practically live your life without ever leaving your computer.  You can order books without ever going to the bookstore, reserve airline tickets, even buy food for your house pet.  That's the 20th century; in other words, yesterday.  The new stuff is percolating out of a bunch of old buildings in downtown Manhattan, and the people who work there call themselves "the dot-com kids."  They're cool, they're hip, they're very rich and very young...  Their motto could be "Never invest in anyone over 30."
