A round up of some of the key moments of the past decade in consumer technology, social media, mobile telecoms, and digital culture in general. 

We look at how the arrival of apps such as Snapchat and Instagram have shaped a generation as well as the impact of online dating apps such as Tinder on how people meet potential partners. We also mention the infrastructure behind all of this innovation: 4G and the mobile web which went live around 2012...

We also look at the decline of technologies such as dvd and bluray in favour of on demand streaming media such as Netflix as well as the demise of Blockbuster video and Blackberry which was once an iconic phone in the late 2000s

All of this and more including recent news.
