A Decade in Review: Tech, Business and You

I want to invite you into a quick journey of the last decade. A journey that started with the Apocalyptic craze of Y2K and witnessed how technology turned the world from 6-degrees of separation to 6-pixels of separation; eventually reaching the Great Recession.  America also elected the first Black president in history while Google took over the world. Apple changed personal computing and they way we listen to music while Facebook redefined how we socialize and share our lives with family, friends, and those old high school friends we haven’t seen in years. Twitter…came to challenge those of us who use long sentences, and the way we complain about brands, and repeat (RT) what others are saying.

A Decade Recap feat. Business and Technology

Among the many things we’ve learned during this decade and recession, both as people and communities, we have learned that playing the market, trusting the government, and living on credit are things of the past. We have learned that if you have the passion, determination, vision, and  education you can become president (fyi: this is a positive statement). We have learned that job security is a myth and a “rainy-day fund” is not for paranoids.

The video concludes: “The only thing that’s certain, is that nothing is certain anymore.” Really?

Question: So, how has this decade shaped you? What’s next?
