So, If my knowledge were expanded I would think NoSQL is an equally valid option, and not a worse one? I hesitate to do any more expansion because of this panel held in 2014 [0] asking weather we are in a big data bubble, and probably answering "yes", but I wasn't there.

Simple query language is REALLY good too. It has a kind of general usefulness.

Can you also have SQL and be NoSQL?

For some things NoSQL would be a better option. For most things SQL remains the better option.

We were in a dot-com bubble around 97-2000, maybe the internet is a bad idea also?

By definition, no. But some NoSQL databases do support an alternative to SQL with some of SQL's properties (e.g. JSON-like syntax).
