How Far We've Come: CBC Digital Then and Now

CBC Digital Then and Now

My buddy Retrontario shared an old ad for http://www.cbc.ca that aired in 1995.  It's actually pretty progressive for 1995, the first year I opened a web browser.

It's amazing how far we've come since then.  CBC News has a great app I use daily on my Android device.  It enables me to listen to the most recent World at Six newscast (28:30) and then the most recent World Report news update (10:00) during my walk or bike ride.  I love this app.

Think back to that wide-eyed amazement you felt when you first cracked open Netscape and hit up a web site.  Now, think about how the ubiquitous the web is on your smart phone and how you use it 17 years later.

We've come a long way.
