Looking back at the rise and crash of the internet bubble, we see a classic example of how technology can go through massive changes. Between 1995 and 2000, the internet industry exploded, with thousands of startups popping up and investors pouring in huge amounts of money. But by 2000, the bubble burst, and many companies went under, causing chaos in the market. So, does the current tech scene have a similar risk of a bubble? Technology, especially things like self-driving cars, medical advancements, and smart devices, seems super promising right now, attracting tons of investment and startups. But just like with the internet, rapid growth in tech often comes with unrealistic expectations and a lot of blind investment.

The three countries you mentioned are indeed the golden triangle of automotive craftsmanship, but perhaps we should shift the lens to another historical perspective: the essence of the automotive industry has never been confined to geographic boundaries; it has been a century-long global experiment in progress.

When Rolls-Royce engines once powered American agricultural planes for reforestation, when the founder of Porsche designed Soviet tractors to reshape the Siberian farmland, and when Ferrari’s V12 engine technology was transformed into a new energy generator for the Modena region — the automotive industry had long become a dynamic vessel for human engineering wisdom. Today, the holding groups behind these brands (Volkswagen, Stellantis, BMW) are themselves multinational networks of capital and technology, much like how Lamborghini’s carbon fiber production line is woven by Japanese robots, or how Bentley’s wooden trim materials may come from sustainable forestry projects in the Amazon rainforest.

War may not specifically target assembly lines, but automotive factories have never truly been “neutral” in history: during World War II, the Wolfsburg factory produced ammunition for the German military, Fiat in Turin made tanks for Mussolini, and Coventry’s workshops worked around the clock to produce military engines. This history reminds us that idolizing any industrial myth as an untouchable temple is dangerous. What truly needs protection is the wisdom that transforms technology into the nurturing force of life — just like how the post-war Volkswagen Beetle resurrected from the wreckage of wartime armaments to become the people’s mobile home.

Barriers to Entry – Basically, if starting a business costs too much or you need special permissions, new players just can’t get in the game. It’s like an invisible wall keeping the competition out.

Predatory Pricing – Some companies drop their prices super low just to crush smaller competitors. Once everyone else is out of the way, guess what? Prices go right back up.

Government Policies – Sometimes, the government unknowingly helps certain companies by giving them perks or making rules that favor them. This can end up giving one company all the power without even trying.

School life was pretty sweet for me, honestly. If I could, I’d stretch those campus days forever. But then again, that would just shift the burden onto my family. Work? Well, that's the responsibility of a 'grown-up,' but here I am, a failed adult. My job doesn’t contribute a thing to society. The most I can do is make sure I’m one less person claiming welfare.
