Remember When…

The other day I was on a call with a potential client and he asked me how long I had been in the business.  I told him I had built my first site in 1996, the early days of the internet. I got to thinking how time flies and how much things have change in such a short time.

For Instance:

Remember when you had to build sites to look good in 800 x 600 as that was the most popular resolution?  Wow has that changed for the better.

Remember when all your clients wanted flash on their sites? Then along came the iPad and changed the world. Thank you Mr. Jobs.

Remember when your choices of fonts was limited to but a few choices?

Remember when AOL was on top of the world? Now a mere shadow of itself.

Remember when dial-up was your only choice? Now modem sounds are history.

Remember when you could only use very small images due to download times?

Remember when Yahoo was the search engine of choice? Now Google not only owns the search market, it has also become a verb.

Remember when you had to build a separate mobile site? Then along came responsive design.

Change is a constant, especially when dealing with technology. As Winston Churchill said, “To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.”

I couldn’t agree more, and can’t imagine what changes we will see in the next 17 years!
