The Decade in Tech

The last 10 years is being reported as the worst decade for owning stocks by the financial markets, but from the tech perspective, it was clearly one of the best.

When the decade began, Apple was a struggling & insignificant computer maker, Google had no meaningful revenue streams & the much hyped Y2K bug had just passed.

Today, Apple has reinvented itself, Google stock is trading at $600 per share and Social Media sites have dramatically changed how we connect with others.

Listen in as the Data Doctors take a look back at the tech stories that made the last 10 years one of the most interesting in history.

Join us every Weekend as we discuss your computer questions. It's the Tech Show for Non-Tech People! You can post questions on Facebook .
