This time of year is always one for reflection. It's doubly so now, as not only are we coming to the end of one year and beginning of another, we are also on the brink of a new decade.

The good news for our readers: we are not going to get into the prediction game, which has been practised by soothsayers and sages for centuries - generally all with the same degree of accuracy. Remember the Millenium Bug and how the world technology infrastructure was going to crash the first minute of the year 2000?

Yet, as RCEURO comes to the close of its first full year, with all the trials and tribulations of a media and community start up in the midst of one of the worst economic times for decades, we will put down a few of our thoughts, hopes and questions for our members and visitors.

To start with, what happened to the 'Noughties' decade? It whizzed by like a Dr. Who challenge with the TimeLords.

We are really excited and curious to know what will happen in the next decade.

What types of technology advances will we see and use? What will be the next iPhone or Twitter?

Will medical science make the breakthroughs we all hope for?

What kind of music will we be listening to (and how?)

Can (put in your country of choice) win the World Cup in South Africa?


For our industry, we hope that companies begin to invest in their 'most important asset' - employees; unemployment numbers go down; and that job seekers, intermediaries and employers alike meet and communicate on common ground, with each party getting what they hope for.

 

As we move into 2010, we pledge to meet more of you, on and off line. RCEURO will continue to evolve to meet your needs and interests.

We wish for you joy, good health and a wealth of happiness.

Happy New Year!!
