1994, it was like a whole new world was opening, connecting freely beyond borders and people. Up on til then I haven’t had a clue what I wanted to with my life, I just knew that I wanted to create. With the web, the medium and the audience was suddenly there, all new and exciting

When did you decide you wanted to work in the Web Industry, which field(s) and why? Me: 1993, global, diverse communication wiith human beings that was accessible from my sickbed, to unite and mend the divided, broken world. Now you!

So true for me as well. I miss that feeling of the world growing small and hope growing wide.

It was a wonderful feeling. For me, that early period was very hopeful and fun. That optimism what a great fuel for me. Don’t get me wrong, I still love what I’m doing and a ton of new, young and super talented people join every day- they inspire me immensely and keep me hopeful.

I have that feeling rarely, and less as time goes on and as for hope, I cannot indulge personal hopes beyond a very few (I have a total of four) but I do keep hope for others. I remain an idealist, am not a pessmimist, I lost my once very strong optimism. What's left but realism?
