This is something of a non sequitur. The debate is around the tech bubble not the various global financial crisis.
While one may affect the other, the debate is around the bubble.
You imply that the global economic situation may cause this bubble to burst or deflate. It actually tends to be the other way around. Hot markets can pull economies out of (or into) recession. The housing/internet markets contributed to the boom years during the Clinton era (and pulled us out of the recession of the 80s). Over-leveraged, cheap-money financial markets pulled us into one.
It may be the case that this next internet "bubble" helps bring us out of our current economic malaise.
