You mean 2001? The dot-com bubble happened then, yet you write about 2010 which could be a recession year in some countries from 2008?

I do think you mean 2001, not entirely sure though.

The dot-com bubble crashed in 2001, which left the entire tech sector in a recession throughout the first 2000s decade. The foreclosure crisis started a recession in 2008 which really didn’t end until 2015 or 2016.
