10 years on..and are we nearly there yet?

So the BBC News site is 10 years old this week. God, that makes me feel old…but then again, just about everything makes me feel old at the moment, so that’s not particularly special.

But, 10 years? And next year it will be 15 years since the launch of the original Mosaic browser. Is this where we thought we’d be 15 years on? How does it make you feel about where we might be in 10 years time?

It’s strange, because we constant think we experiencing a series of rapid violent changes - where everything is conceived and resolved in months.

To a point that’s true - but at the same time, we’re also in the middle, or maybe just approaching the middle, of an overarching process of change that will be measured in decades, rather than years.

I’m not quite sure where ‘there’ is..but I’m pretty sure we’re nowhere near it yet..
