Well, I might have been the most failed technology person in the eighties. I had access to register domain names and I did not take advantage of it. I sometimes imagine all that I could have done back then before the internet became the internet. I should have registered the Walmart domain name before any one could. I would be a billionaire now, instead of stuck at this competitive technology firm.
When I graduated from college, I did not really know how big technology was going to change the world. I was happy that I had a job and was just doing things we could not have imagined we could do. For some reason my creative thinking did not align with how technology was turning. When I had access to the internet and web hosting, I could have easily registered so many domain names. If I registered Walmart as a dot com, I know that I would have been paid out a fortune. With that fortune, I would have been retired for twenty years now. I would not be working and competing with these young kids out of college that are ridiculously smarter than I am.
So my mistake at life was not jumping at that opportunity. Now I feel a little sad about it, may be I am also feeling a little burnt out in this industry too. Maybe I should quit my job and do something different. I could be working a stress free job happily I think. I have enough in my savings to think about this.
