The pace of technology change is accelerating
Ten years ago, Facebook was just getting started
Eight years ago, Twitter and Instagram didn’t exist
Six years ago, most mobile phones were incapable of much more than phone calls
and messaging
Five years ago, tablets were a remedy for headaches

ups. The coming decade will see the traditional companies become the
next set of digital giants…” ~Accenture Technology Vision 2014
