Can you believe it? It was the year 2000 when
Gordon May and his son, Byron, launched SB Magazine. This year is our silver
anniversary. It seems like only yesterday that we were anticipating a complete
technology shutdown with Y2K. Think about it. We’ve gone from using a
floppy disk to using flash drives. “Google It” is a common phrase. YouTube
is the most popular video-sharing website in the world. I remember telling
my mother as I was talking to her on my “bag phone” (you can google that),
“One day, I will be able to call you and see your face.” Skype. Bluetooth keeps
us connected without tangled-up wires to frustrate us. We have electric cars
– driverless cars are not too far in our future. We have 3D printing (I’d love to
publish SB Magazine in 3 dimensions). Most impressive is gene editing, which
could hopefully eliminate some major diseases. And there’s Facebook, which
can be a good thing or a very bad thing (bullying and doxing – it happened to us
this past year). A platform that people can hide behind
