Tomorrow will be com-ple-te-ly different
No time in history saw such a quick succession of so many changes as the Spring of 2009. The Internet is literally exploding.
Whereas films of only 20 years ago were slow, evolved around 2 or 3 main characters, we are now used to see movies with 4 or 5 sub-plots flash by, with 10 characters, while at the same time we Twitter, send text messages and keep an eye on our Google analytics.
We can no longer even predict what the future will bring. But one thing is for sure: tomorrow will be com-ple-te-ly different from today.
