Even in the short time that this blog has been online (two years), there have been some big changes in how we (in the aggregate) consume information. Newspapers and magazines are still making their inexorable decline into oblivion, more and more people (people I have talked with, i.e., anecdotal information on my part here) who get all of most of their news online (encroaching upon TV’s hammerlock on ‘reality’).
With this in mind, I have been looking at the perfunctory ‘life in the last 12 months’ or ‘how life will change in the next 5 years’ type posts for some perspective upon what even I can see form my lowly vantage point.
