It hardly seems like five years since BNP Media published the first edition of Mission Critical, but it has been an eventful five years.
To put it into perspective, George W. Bush was still president, Barack Obama was still a little known U.S. Senator from Illinois, Mitt Romney had not yet delivered a keynote at the 7x24Exchange, gas was still under $2 per gallon, the economy was humming along, and no one had ever hear the acronym PIGS nations. So the world has changed.
