I’m generally inclined to be optimistic, but rose-colored glasses stretch time. Good things always take longer to emerge than any of us would wish. In some ways, this is foolhardy – like predicting that the election would drive 2020, only to see it overwhelmed by COVID-19. Facebook’s chickens come home to roost.

Implementing this change became a key part of the organisational mission between 2012 - 2017. Beginning in 2008, the Library developed an in-house solution for processing content from physical carriers. Each year, the digital collection, a mix of born digital and digitised material, grows at around 10%. What next at the NLA?

A significant percentage of the US population has become unmoored from truth – and an equally significant group of us have simply thrown our hands up about it. Trust is at an all time low. My next prediction: Facebook’s chickens come home to roost…2021 will be a dismal year for Facebook. Oh my, was it ever. May: Plans for Zuck & Co.
