tech boom
Industry's digital explosion
A tech boom is a period of rapid growth and investment in the technology sector, typically marked by rising stock prices, abundant venture capital, and widespread optimism about new technologies.
The dot-com bubble of the late 1990s remains the defining example: The tech boom created overnight millionaires.
Such booms often end in busts when valuations outpace reality.
